Description

Recently, García & Santos-Silva (2022) described Psyrassa wappesi from Mexico.

However, the name is a junior homonym of Psyrassa wappesi Chemsak & Noguera, 1997, a species considered as junior synonym of Aneflomorpha giesberti Chemsak & Linsley, 1975 by Toledo (2005). Although in the synonym, P. wappesi Chemsak & Noguera is an available name (ICZN 1999: 23.3.6). Therefore, P. wappesi García & Santos-Silva needs a replacement name (ICZN: 53.3).

To eliminate the homonymy, we are replacing the junior homonym with Psyrassa linae nom. nov.

Etymology. In thanks to Mei-Ying Lin (Engineering Research Center for Forest and Grassland Disaster Prevention and Reduction, Mianyang Normal University, Mianyang, Sichuan, China).
