Comments.
Coptocephala tetradyma
var.
subobliterata
was described from two localities: Abondance and Sonnay. We found the male from Abondance in Pic
̓
s collection but the deposition of specimen(s) from Sonnay is unknown to us. The aedeagus of the only known
syntype
of
var.
subobliterata
perfectly matches that of
C. rubicunda
thus we conħrm the synonymy of both taxa.
