Augener (1926) treated Aphrogenia nigropunctata Horst, 1916 as a synonym of Aphrogenia villosa Horst, 1916 but apparently did not examine type material. Hutchings & McRae (1993) re-examined relevant type material of Horst and diagnosed both as distinct species. Therefore we follow Hutchings & McRae (1993).
