Bebelis inaequalis; Breuning, 1971: 240; Monné, 1994: 9 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 186 (checklist); Monné, 2005: 291 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 225 (checklist); Monné et al., 2017: 58 (holotype); Monné, 2021: 443 (cat.). Bebelis obliquata was described based on a single specimen (Fig. 49) from Brazil (Minas Gerais). Formally, the species remains known only by the holotype. Later, Fisher (1947a) described B. inaequalis (Figs 50–51) based on a single specimen from Paraguay, and the species remains known only by the holotype. Comparison of the holotype of B. inaequalis (Figs 50–51) with the original description and photograph of the holotype of B. obliquata (Fig. 49) allowed concluding that they belong to the same species. Accordingly, B. inaequalis is synonymized with B. obliquata. Material examined. PARAGUAY, holotype, F. Schade leg., no more data (MZSP).
