Dasyhelea koenigi Delécolle and Rieb, 1994: 267 ( Guadeloupe ) ; Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 26 (in Neotropical catalog). NEW SYNONYM. Discussion. Borkent and Spinelli (2000) and Borkent and Grogan (2009) listed this Neotropical species from Florida . However, the bases for these inclusions are unknown, and therefore, we provide the first definitive records of D. scissurae from Florida and the United States . In addition, the illustrations of the male genitalia of D . koenigi Delécolle and Rieb (1994) described from the male holotype and female allotype from Guadeloupe are virtually identical with illustrations of the male genitalia of D . scissurae described by Macfie (1937) from Trinidad . We consider them conspecific, and therefore, Dasyhelea koenigi Delécolle and Rieb is a junior objective synonym of Dasyhelea scissurae Macfie ( NEW SYNONYM ). New records.
