Comments.

DeLong (1942) described Hamana manifesta (Fig. 50G ) based on male and female specimens from the localities of Confalon, Medina, Presidio and Val Verde, Texas, USA, and illustrated the head, pronotum and mesonotum in dorsal view, as well as the male genitalia. DeLong and Freytag (1966) revised the genus Hamana , redescribed H. manifesta and provided a new illustration of the male genitalia. DeLong and Freytag (1974) described Acuera inlustra (Fig. 50A-F ) based on the holotype from Chisos Mts., Texas, and 10 paratypes from Chihuahua and Primavera, Mexico, with illustrations of the male genitalia. Based on the original descriptions and illustrations of both species, the study of images of holotype and paratype of Acuera inlustra and the study of a specimen of Hamana manifesta from Texas, USA, we conclude that there are no characters that distinguish these species. Therefore, we suggest that Acuera inlustra must be treated as a junior synonym Hamana manifesta .
