In addition, Artacie dufourii (Signoret) is removed from synonymy with A. haemoptera (Perty). New generic synonymy includes Chilobia Stal (= Ecuadoria) Distant, Euhydria (Walker) (= Ulubra Stal). New synonymy of species includes: Copidocephala merula Distant (= Coanaco melanoptera Schmidt), Copidocephala viridiguttata Stal (= Coanaco ornanda Distant), Diareusa conspersa Schmidt (= D. dahli Ossiannilsson), Enchophora nigromaculata Distant (= E. nigrolimbata Lallemand), Enchophora recurva (Olivier) (= E. bohemani Stal), Enchophora sanguinea Distant (= E. Florens Distant and E. longirostris Distant), Enchophora tuberculata (Oliver) (= E. parvipennis Walker), Enchophora viridipennis Spinola (= E. eminenta Schmidt), Enhydria tessellata (Walker) (= E. brachialis Stal), Fulgora graciliceps Blanchard (= Laternaria orthocephala Fonseca), Fulgora laternaria (Linnaeus)(= F. servillei Spinola), Phrictus auromaculatus Distant (= P. notatus Lellemand), Phrictus moebiusi Schmidt (= P. sordidus Caldwell). The two species of Fulgora are synonymized by Ridout. New combinations include Chilobia dichopteroides (Distant) ( Ecuadoria ) and Stalubra rufula (Lallemand) ( Enhydria ).
