Remarks

This species was described from numerous dealate females and one alate female, of which one was found agreeing with Borgmeier’s description. Although this specimen is labelled as a “ paratype ” and “cotype”, since neither a unique holotype or lectotype has yet been fixed, all of the type series is still syntypic (Article 73.2). The syntype is micro-pinned and entire and it is mounted together with an ant. Notoxopria Kieffer, 1910 was synonymized with Notoxoides by Masner (1977). The epithet “pedissequa” is a noun in apposition and is indeclinable.
