Agaraea sericeum (Zerny, 1931) comb. n.

Recently, a male lectotype of Eucereon sericeum Zerny, 1931: 25; pl. 1, fig. 5 has been designated and illustrated by Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015). The habitus and genitalia of the lectotype are certainly not part of a monophyletic concept of Eucereon or even Ctenuchina (Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler 2015). In fact, morphological traits of lectotype are similar to those of Agaraea longicornis Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], the type species of the genus Agaraea Herrich-Schäffer (illustrated in Vincent & Laguerre, 2014). For this reason, the above-mentioned new combination is here proposed.

Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler (2015) also stated that there are three other species closely related to A. sericeum: Eucereon album (Druce), E. vestalis (Schaus) and Hyaleucerea mundula (Berg) . Further studies are necessary to know if these species really correspond to Agaraea .
