Notes
Chlororithra missioniaria
was originally described as a variation of
C. fea
by
Oberthuer
(1916)
.
Parsons et al. (1999)
instead treated
C. missioniaria
as a junior synonym of
C. fea
, so the name was absent from the checklist of
Scoble and Hausmann (2007)
; however, prior to the publication of the checklist,
C. missioniaria
was designated a distinct species of
Chlororithra
by
Han et al. (2006)
.
