Asopus? chrysopterus Bergroth, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. VIII, 15: 484, 1915.

Two specimens, Guam, Fullaway (1418); TODO one specimen, Guam, 1923, edge of forest, Hornbostel; one specimen, Mt. Alifan, April 21, E. H. Bryan, Jr .; one specimen, Inarajan, July 25, on Triphasia, Swezey .

This species was originally described from Guam by Herrich-Schaeffer and is easily recognizable from his colored illustration. As pointed out by Bergroth, Schouteden erroneously placed this in Cantheconidea . Bergroth, in suggesting that chrysopterus "belongs to an undescribed genus," overlooked the fact that Schouteden had already described a new genus and species, Parealda bouvieri, for this same insect and keyed it out in its proper place in his Genera Insectorum. Thus the specific name of Herrich-Schaeffer and the generic name of Schouteden stand, while Schouteden's specific name bouvieri falls as a synonym.
