(unjustified emendation) Macrolophus nubilis nubilis auct. (unjustified emendation) Capsus nubilis auct. (unjustified emendation) Macrolophus melanotoma auct. nec A. Costa, 1853 (misidentification) Note: M. pygmaeus and M. melanotoma are extremely similar species and their status as separate species has been debated. Martinez-Cascales et al. (2006) have presented data to support the status as bonae species of both taxa. Nevertheless, reliable identification using morphological characters is almost impossible; this has led to a number of misidentifications.
