Wappesia cyanea ( Martins & Galileo, 2005) , comb. nov.

Oxycoleus cyaneus Martins & Galileo, 2005: 770 ; Monné, 2006: 174 (cat.); Wappes et al., 2006: 12 (distr.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 109 (checklist); Wappes et al., 2009: 4 (holotype); Wappes & Arias, 2016: 7 (holotype); Monné, 2021: 622 (cat.).

Remarks. According to Martins & Galileo (2005), the antennomeres III–V are cylindrical in the holotype of this species, the only known specimen. Examining the photograph of the holotype in the original description, as well as that on Bezark (2021a), the information appears to be true. This feature would include the species in Oxycoleus . However, the elytra not dehiscent, wide and sinuous apically, without humeral carina, include the species in Wappesia . As female specimens are unknown, it is not possible to know if the antennomeres are also cylindrical in this sex. Nevertheless, the shape of the antennomeres in this species suggests this feature is variable in the genus. Therefore, the shape of the antennomeres would not be a generic feature. This conclusion can only be confirmed or refuted by studying specimens of both sexes of all species.

According to the original description, the holotype belongs to the FSCA. However, it actually belongs to the MNKM collection.
