According to
Martins & Santos-Silva (2013)
, since Erichson’s (1847) original description of
Psapharochrus leucogaea
, this species was only cited in checklists (
Blackwelder, 1946
) and catalogs (
Aurivillius, 1923
; Monné, 1994, 2005, Monné
et al
., 2012). They revised its generic position and transferred
Psapharochrus leucogaeus
to
Eupromerella
; they also illustrated the male
holotype
.
Monné & Monné (2006)
examined photographs of the female
paratype
of
Acanthoderes
(
Psapharochrus
)
virescens
Fuchs, 1962
(deposited in the
HSCV
) and transferred it to
Acanthoderes
(
Scythropopsis
)
. Herein we propose the synonymy between
A. leucogaeus
and
A. virescens
and confirm the position of this species in the genus
Eupromerella
as noted earlier by
Martins & Santos-Silva (2013
.
