Amaurosoma tibiellum (Zetterstedt, 1838)

Cordylura tibiella Zetterstedt, 1838: 731. SYNTYPES: J ♀, Sweden, ‘ Habitat in Suecia passim; in ripa arenosa ad Juckasjervi [= found all over Sweden; sandy banks at Jukkasjärvi]’; Norway, ‘ad Björkvik Nordlandiae [= at Bjerkvik in Norway]’ (probably MZLU).

Cordylyra nigripes Zetterstedt, 1846: 2026. SYNTYPES: J ♀, Sweden, ‘Jemtlandia bor. [= northern Jämtland], Dalbom leg.’ (probably MZLU). Synonymized by HACKMAN (1956: 18, 1980: 130).

Amaurosoma nutans Becker, 1894: 120, syn. nov. SYNTYPES: 2 JJ, Austria, ‘ Kärnten’ [= Carinthia]’; Poland, ‘ Schlesien [= Silesia], […] in der Sammlung des Herrn Prof. Tief [= in the collection of Prof. Tief]’ (ZMHB).

Note. All characters of A. nutans are within the limits of variability of A. tibiellum, and I therefore suggest A. nutans as a junior synonym of A. tibiellum.
