Type.
Holotype Male (Fig. 6
A-C
; USNM ENT 00873979). The male specimen was referred to as the
"Type"
by
Rehn (1904)
and under Article 73.1.1 of the Code this sole name-bearing male specimen is the holotype.

Rehn, 1904 holotype male (USNM ENT 00873979): A dorsal habitus B ventral habitus C labels.
Hoplocorypha perplexa
Rehn, 1912 holotype female (USNM ENT 00873981): D dorsal habitus E ventral habitus F labels.
Note.
Status uncertain since it has been listed as a junior synonym of
Mionyx saevus
and
Mionyx fera
, both described by
Saussure and Zehntner (1894)
.
Mionyx
is now included within
Pseudomusonia
Werner, 1909.
Mionyx saevus
is currently considered a junior synonym to
Mionyx lineativentris
(
Stal
, 1877).
Otte and Spearman (2005)
list H. carlottae as a valid species, but it looks to be mostly accepted as a synonym of
Mionyx fera
.
