chrysomelas (Oplomus) Walker 1867a: 121–122 . [Fig. 33]

Original data: “ a. Cuenca, Province of Equador. From Mr. Fraser’s collection.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♂: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “Cuenca / 58 132”; “18. OPLOMUS CHRYSOMELAS .”; “NHMUK 010592403”. Third to fifth right and left antennomeres, left wings, and abdomen missing (the latter is glued on a card) (Fig. 33).

Current status: Oplomus salamandra (Burmeister, 1835)

(synonymised to Oplomus tripustulatus Fabricius by Stål 1870: 28, as Var. c; see Distant 1880: 31; Distant 1900a: 63; Schouteden 1907: 35; Kirkaldy 1909: 8, as Oplomus salamandra; Thomas 1992: 59).

Note. As shown in Thomas (1992: 59), the name tripustulatus was preoccupied and so was that of tibialis Fabricius, the next junior synonym; the name of the species therefore became salamandra Burmeister, the next non-preoccupied junior synonym.
