chlorophaea var. cornuta Saussure & Zehntner, 1894 [Theoclytes] .

Although the MHNG collection includes several potential syntypes under the name T.

chlorophaea (box 30), none could be positively identified because the description does not distinguish between the type locality of the variety and the distribution of the nominal form. The specimens in the collection are in any case slightly smaller than indicated in the description. This variety is currently regarded as a valid species, Phyllovates cornuta ( Saussure & Zehntner, 1894) .
