Neoephydra venteli .— Mathis 2008: 10 [generic combination].

Type material. The holotype female is labeled “Bodoquena Mato Grosso [do Sul] XI-1941 Com I O C/ COL. INST. O. CRUZ NO. 717/ HOLOTYPE Dimecoenia venteli Oliveira [red].” The holotype is in the IOC. The specimen is in poor condition, the left wing, hindlegs, and abdomen are missing, and several setae of the head are broken.

Type locality. Brazil. Mato Grosso do Sul: Bodoquena (20°31.1'S, 56°43.3'W).

Remarks. We are unable to place this specimen. Specimens of species most closely resembling it are not within the range of distribution of the latter as presently known. Consequently, we are treating Oliveira's name as a species inquirinda until more information can be obtained.
