Remarks. From the short description and partial illustration of the male genitalia of Mohoaticus pteroacariphagus Mey, 2017, we consider this species to be a junior synonym of Guimaraesiella (Mohoaticus) diaprepes (Kellogg & Chapman, 1902) new synonymy, as no significant differences can be found between these two species. In our opinion, a putative validation of M. pteroacariphagus depends on a complete redescription of the type material.
