Agoo fulvus ( Van Duzee, 1909) , new combination

( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 )

Cenchrea fulva Van Duzee, 1909: 195 View in CoL (original description)

Syntames fulvus (Van Duzee) ; comb. by Metcalf 1938: 328

Phaciocephalus fulvus ( Van Duzee, 1909) View in CoL ; comb. by Fennah 1952: 136 (error for P. fulvus Metcalf, 1923: 165 View in CoL , unavailable name replaced by Cenchrea mcateei Dozier, 1928 )

Omolicna fulvus ( Van Duzee 1909) ; comb. by Caldwell 1944: 99 (following Muir 1924: 16), see also O’Brien (1982: 320) and Bahder et al. (2021: 127).

Sequence data. For O. fulva View in CoL , molecular data for the COI, 18S and D9-D10 expansion regions of 28S were generated and accessioned ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). The molecular phylogeny generated based on 18S, 28S and COI demonstrated strong bootstrap support (100, 100 and 93, respectively) for the monophyly of Agoo View in CoL , with O. fulva View in CoL resolving within Agoo View in CoL the clade for all markers ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ), indicating that this species is misplaced to genus.

Remarks. Morphological features ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 ) appear consistent with the hypothesis that O. fulva belongs in Agoo rather than Omolicna Fennah. Here we move O. fulva to Agoo as A. fulvus , new combination.
