(1)Remarks
Schaeffer (1908) described Pygmaeopsis for his new species P. viticola, from the United States of America (only known from the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas). However, the generic name had already been used by Warren (1907) to include his new species P. purpurea, from Peru. (Heffern & Santos-Silva, 2023)
