(Fig. 20)

Novakia distincta Fisher 1939: 234 .

Tetragoneura distincta (Fisher 1939:234) n. comb. Preoccupied by Tetragoneura distincta Winnertz 1849:19 . Tetragoneura fisherae Kerr nom. nov. for Tetragoneura distincta (Fisher 1939:234), nec T. distincta Winnertz 1849:19 .

Holotype (studied): ♂, San José, Costa Rica, (H. Schmidt), IX-19 1930 [ANSP, type no. 6571]. Head missing; both wings in fairly poor condition, slide mounted in euparal.

Allotype (studied): Ψ, San José, Costa Rica, (H. Schmidt), IX-10 1930.

Paratypes (studied): 2 ♂♂, San José, Costa Rica, (H. Schmidt), IX-5 1930; 1 ♂, same data as allotype; 1 ♂, San José, Costa Rica, (H. Schmidt), IX-14 1930.

Dr. Uwe Kallweit (Museum für Tierkunde, Staatliche Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden) labeled the pinned holotype specimen and associated slide material “ Tetragoneura distincta (Fisher, 1939), det Kallweit 2000”. This is an unusual species that merits more study within the context of a wider review of its closest relatives. For now, I agree with Kallweit that this species fits within the broad concept of Tetragoneura Winnertz, a genus in great need of revision. Novakia distincta Fisher is certainly not contained within Novakia Strobl. This species is hereby transferred to Tetragoneura Winnertz. A replacement name is given because the binomial is preoccupied by Tetragoneura distincta Winnertz 1849, an available name.

With transfer of this species, the genus Novakia Strobl is restricted to the Holarctic Region.
