Name

Synhoria cephalotes (Olivier, 1795).

Note: Bologna & Laurenzi, 1994: 156 treat Synhoria maxillosa (Fabricius, 1801) as a species separated from S. cephalotes while Kurosawa, 1985: 10 placed Horia maxillosa Fabricius, 1801 under Cissites cephalotes and several previous entomologists (e.g. Laporte, 1840: 279) had regarded both types as conspecific.
