New combinations: Gyariella cuspidata (Melichar), from Gyaria; Cryptoflata obsoletus (Melichar), from Paranotus; Flatida ochreata (Melichar), from Flatina; Phylliana praetextus (Melichar), from Paranotus. New synonymies: Flatina chloris Melichar, a junior synonym of Flatidissa furcigera (Haglund); Ormenis fuscula Melichar, a junior synonym of Ulundia madagascariensis (Signoret).
