Amér. merid.?”; syntypus 2♂ 2♀ [BMNH] Camras (1996) states that the syntypes of Physocephala punctum do not belong to any Nearctic species, contrary to the locus typicus given in the original description: “Pays...? Amér. merid.?”. Camras did not identify the species and therefore P. punctum should be treated as a nomen dubium until such time as the type material can be investigated.
