Comments. BALY (1879a, 1886a) published the descriptions of Oedicerus apicipennis and Nacrea apicipennis . Only the holotype of Nacrea apicipennis is deposited in the BMNH (Fig. 72). Based on comparison of both Balyʼs descriptions I speculate that they refer to the same specimen as the texts in Latin are nearly the same and in both descriptions only one specimen with five broken apical antennomeres is mentioned. Therefore the names are objective synonyms as BALY (1886a) probably only repeated the description and put a new identification label when proposing the new genus Nacrea .
