Bebelis aurulenta ; Breuning, 1960: 175 (cat.); 1971: 245; Monné, 1994: 9 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 186 (checklist); Monné, 2005: 290 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 225 (checklist); Wappes et al., 2006: 24 (distr.); Monné, 2021: 442 (cat.).

Belon (1903) described this species from Bolivia (Cochabamba), and it remains known only from this country. As the species was never illustrated I think it is important to provide a photograph of a syntype .
