Description
Taumacera clypeata (Baly, 1888), comb. nov.
Platyxantha clypeata Baly, 1888: 158 (original description)
Type material examined. SYNTYPES: 1 ♀, ‘Type [white round label with red collar, p] // ♀ [w, h] // Platyxantha / clypeata [w, h] // Baly Coll. [w, p]’ (BMNH); 1 ♂, ‘♂ [w, h] // Baly Coll. [w, p]’ (BMNH).
Comments. To date Platyxantha clypeata was classified in Acroxena (MAULIK 1936, WILCOX 1973). Based on the presence of a metasternal process and strongly modified head in the male syntype, I hereby transfer it to Taumacera and assign it to the T. nasuta species-group.
