Catoptes argentalis Broun, 1914:208 new synonym

Although C. aemulator has been used as a valid name previously, C. tenebricus is chosen as the senior name, as the holotype of C. aemulator is a teneral specimen and critical characters are not fully developed. The vestiture of C. argentalis is quite different in colour, shape and appearance from that of C. tenebricus; however no clear structural characters exist to reliably separate the two.
