Bryan , Jr .; one specimen , Inarajan , July 25 , on Triphasia , Swezey . This species was originally described from Guam by Herrich-Schaeffer and is easily recognizable from his colored illustration. As pointed out by Bergroth, Schouteden erroneously placed this in Cantheconidea . Bergroth, in suggesting that chrysopterus "belongs to an undescribed genus," overlooked the fact that Schouteden had already described a new genus and species, Parealda bouvieri , for this same insect and keyed it out in its proper place in his Genera Insectorum. Thus the specific name of Herrich-Schaeffer and the generic name of Schouteden stand, while Schouteden's specific name bouvieri falls as a synonym.
