Kontschán (

moved
Kaszabjbaloghia hirschmanni
Hiramatsu,
1978
into the genus
Hutufeideria
. That action made the Australian species
Hutufeideria hirschmanni
(
Hiramatsu,
1978
b, pp.
109–111
, Fig.
108
) a secondary homonym of the New
Guinea
species
Hutufeideria hirschmanni
Hiramatsu,
1978
a
(pp.
106–108
. Fig.
106
). These two species were described simultaneously, so as First Reviser I propose
Hutufeideria hirschmannoides
nom. nov. as a replacement name for the Australian species
Hutufeideria hirschmanni
(
Hiramatsu,
1978
b, pp.
109–111
, Fig.

).
