Comments:
We have examined the types of this species and found that all the specimens (
holotype
and
paratypes
) belong without doubt to
Achilia larvata
(
Reitter, 1885
)
, one of the species we recently revised (
Sabella
et al
., 2017
). Therefore we here place
Achilia validicorniformis
Franz, 1996
as a junior synonym of
A. larvata
(
Reitter, 1885
)
(
syn. nov.
).
