Synonyms
- Stephanoderes elephas Eichhoff, 1872
- Adiaeretus spinosus Hagedorn, 1909
Taxonomy Comments
This African species has been reported from Brazil and Argentina. It's presence in South America is unlikely. While I have not seen the specimens from Argentina I have compared Brazilian specimens with the type of Stephanoderes elephas Eichhoff. The Brazilian specimens represent an undescribed species.
Hosts
- trap > ethanol
