  • Taxonomic Notes. In 1975 [Ekis (now Opitz), 1975:15] established that the type-specimen of Cymatodera modesta Spinola (1949:391) was in the Paris Museum, that it was collected from Chile, and that the species more appropriately belongs to the genus Notocymatodera as noted by Corporaal (1950: 54). In a revision of that genus, Solervicens (1996:99) expressed doubts about the validity of Spinolas' name, questioned the identity of the specimen the name represents, correctly transfered Cymatodera dimidiata Germain (1856: 393) to Notocymatodera, and established that the latter genus is more correctly classified under Clerinae. Solervicens's habitus illustration (Solervicens 1996: 100) strongly suggests that Notocymatodera dimidiata(Germain 1856:393) is conspecific with, and a junior synonym of, Notocymatodera modesta (Fig. 7). The type-specimen of Cymatodera dimidiata Germain must be examined to resolve the question of this synonymy and correctly identify the nominal typespecies of the genus Notocymatodera.
