Remark Stephensen (1932) lists Elasmopus levis (S.I. Smith, 1873) and E. levis K.H. Barnard, 1916 together. K.H. Barnard (1940), considering his E. levis as a junior homonym, give it the replacement name Maera vagans. But if it is really a Maera then it doesn’t need a replacement name. Griffiths (1973, 1974a-c, 1975) records Maera vagans from southern Africa. Shoemaker (1948) pointed out that K.H. Barnard (1916) described another E. levis from South Africa (a junior homonym), and not knowing about Barnard’s replacement name, he then gave it another replacement name, E. barnardi (Shoemaker, 1948). According to Krapp-Schickel (2008a) it is a dubious species. [details]
