Yang et al. (2007) elevate it to genus level. However, they do not provide evidence that by excluding Platyhilara from Hilara the remaining Hilara is not rendered paraphyletic. I thus do not follow this notion here and keep the present species in Hilara. Note: the synonymy of Hilara eumera is doubted by some authors who suggest that only some reports of Hilara eumera in the literature are identical with Hilara nitidula, while the true Hilara eumera (described from Romania) is a different species. However, the lectotype of Hilara eumera (selected by Chvala 1996) is conspecific with Hilara nitidula, thus both names are synonyms.   Identification Distribution Biology This page has been updated on January 27, 2012 This site is online since May 31, 2005 Copyright © by Nikola-Michael Prpic.
