Comment:
Although Brachychthonius latus Jacot, 1936 has been synonymized under Liochthonius brevis (Michael, 1888), it remains a senior secondary homonym of Liochthonius latus Mahunka, 1982. Since these names are still congeneric (both are in the genus Liochthonius), the junior name cannot be used as the valid name of a species. Instead, the substitute/replacement name Liochthonius neonominatus Subías, 2004 must be used (ICZN Arts. 52 & 59)
