During the revision of the genus\ Tympanis\ a syntype of\ Biatorellina buchsii\ was fortuitously found and reviewed. Initially our revision led to the hypothesis that\ B. buchsii\ could be conspecific with\ Tympanis confusa. A bibliographic and morphological revision, together with a biometric study, was done using the syntype of\ B. buchsii\ and specimens of\ Tympanisconfusa\ to verify the identity of the genus\ Biatorellina. Our results show an overlap in the morphology, biometry, distribution and ecology of\ B. buchsii\ (=\ Tympanis buchsii) and\ Tympanis confusa. The identity and the placement of\ Biatorellina\ is resolved and\ B. buchsii\ is proposed as a synonym of\ Tympanis confus.}, url = {https://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.411.3.2}, author = {Quijada, L. and Polhorsky, A. and Mitchell, J. and Pfister, D.H.} }
