Current status: Ectinogonia ( Kheiliella) melichari rufimarginata Cobos, 1969 ( Bellamy, 2008; Giraldo-Mendoza, 2019).

Comments: The original description of Cobos (1969:30) indicate that this subspecies was described from two male specimens ( holotype and paratype), that were previously determined as “cincta Kerr.”. Original description also mentions that this taxon measures 17 mm in length and that its type locality is “ Perú: 40 mi. E. Abancay, 5-III-1951 (Ross y Michelbacher leg.)”. We recognized this specimen as holotype of Ectinogonia ( Ectinogonia) melichari rufimarginata Cobos, 1969 since it matches exactly the above-mentioned information, as well as its original description and bears Cobos holotype labels.
