Comments. WEISE (1922) classified both Dorydea costatipennis Jacoby, 1896 and Metellus costatipennis Jacoby, 1896 in the genus Platyxantha and due to homonymy he proposed a new substitute name of Platyxantha jacobyi for Dorydea costatipennis . REID (1999) omitted Platyxantha jacobyi in his list of Taumacera . In the current arrangement both Dorydea costatipennis and Metellus costatipennis are classified in Taumacera and thus Weiseʼs replacement name is valid.
