Puliciphora etiamodesta Disney, nom. nov.

Mesopathusa modesta Disney, in Disney & Kistner, 1989: 85.

Puliciphora modesta (Disney) . Disney & Darlington, 1998: 169.

The synonymising of Pulicimyia with Puliciphora (see above) and the resulting transfer of species means that Puliciphora modesta (Borgmeier) comb. nov. (see below) creates a homonym with the Afrotropical P. modesta (Disney) . The latter is therefore renamed P. etiamodesta .
