Notes

Kuchleria garciapitai was designated a junior synonym of K. insignata by Leraut (2009). In the same publication, Leraut (2009) claimed that K. insignata was a "synonym or subspecies" of Kuchleria menadiara Thierry-Mieg, 1893. Müller et al. (2019) treated this claim as a formal synonymy of K. insignata and K. menadiara and, subsequently, provided molecular and morphological evidence to justify elevating it back to species. Kuchleria garciapitai remains a junior synonym of K. insignata .
