Taxonomic remark Proxenetes tuberculatus Graff, 1882 was transferred to the genus Ptychopera by Den Hartog (1964: p. 395–398), who provided a redescription and gave new localities. However, Ax (1971) convincingly argues against the identification of Den Hartog's specimens as Proxenetes tuberculatus. As he (implicitely) seems to consider the transfer of Proxenetes tuberculatus to Ptychopera justified, the name is conserved as Ptychopera tuberculata (Graff, 1882) Den Hartog, 1964. The specimen (erronously) redescribed by Den Hartog (1964) as Ptychopera tuberculata , Ax describes as a new species Ptychopera hartogi.  [details]
