Types species: Tetrapedia pygmaea Schrottky, 1902, by original designation</p><p>Paratetrapedia (Amphipedia) Michener &amp; Moure, 1957: 413 . Type species: Tetrapedia haeckeli Friese, 1910, by original designation. New synonymy.</p><p>Michener &amp; Moure (1957), when proposing the name Amphipedia, based their description on partly misidentified material of the type species. The type material of the type species of this subgenus, Tetrapedia haeckeli, deposited in the ZMB (see below) belongs in the subgenus Lophopedia, as delimited by Michener &amp; Moure (1957). This makes Amphipedia equivalent to Lophopedia . As first revisers, we place Amphipedia as a synonym of Lophopedia .</p><p>Apparently, Michener &amp; Moure (1957) examined one female, from the MZSP collection, which truly corresponds to P. haeckeli, but their description of Amphipedia was based on material belonging to Paratetrapedia (Tropidopedia) punctifrons (Smith, 1879), new combination. A complete taxonomic treatment of this species will appear in a forthcoming revision of the group. The drawings presented in Michener &amp; Moure’s paper (their figs. 13–15) of male S7–S8 and genital capsule, indicated as being of P. haeckeli, correspond to those of P. punctifrons, and all the material in DZUP identified as P. haeckeli in reality corresponds to P. punctifrons . Also, the characterization of Amphipedia by Michener &amp; Moure (1957) clearly agrees with the features found in P. punctifrons .</p><p>Under the synonymies established here, the group of species for which Michener &amp; Moure (1957) proposed the name Amphipedia remains without a formal name. Besides P. punctifrons, this group contains seven additional undescribed species (Aguiar, unpublished). As already recognized by Michener &amp; Moure, it is closely related to Tropidopedia . Instead of proposing a new name, we opted to expand Tropidopedia to include this group of species as well. A complete revision of Tropidopedia sensu lato will be presented in a forthcoming paper.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2723581BFFFF8523C804FB49FD55FD08	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pararetrapedia nigriceps possesses the integument and pubescence mostly orange yellow, except for a black frons in many specimens. The distribution and length of pubescence, sculpture, structure and morphology of male sterna 6–8 and genitalia are quite similar in P. nigriceps and P. haeckeli . Perhaps, these two forms could be treated as a single species. However, their distributions do not overlap: P. haeckeli occurs in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, while P. nigriceps is found only in Bolivia.
