Taxonomic history
[Note: an earlier senior synonym of
Colobopsis pubescens Mayr, 1862,
Colobopsis pilosa (Smith, 1857) (synonymy by
Emery, 1900: 706), is itself a junior primary homonym (of
Camponotus pilosa (Olivier, 1792)); hence
Colobopsis pilosa (Smith, 1857) is unavailable as a replacement name for
Colobopsis pubescens Mayr, 1862, and
Colobopsis leonardi (Emery, 1889) becomes the first available name (
Emery, 1921a PDF: 25).]
