Euceraia rufithorax
Piza, 1950
stat. nov.
This species has been synonymized by
Grant (1964)
under
Euceraia rufovariegata
(Chopard, 1918)
. According to Grant, who relied on Piza’s description and sketchy illustration of the male abdomen tip, there are two morphologically different populations, whose conspicuous coloration, however, is uniform. The male
neotype
of
E. rufovariegata
and the male
holotype
of
E. rufithorax
are very different in coloration, the latter lacking the prominent dark red markings completely.
