Type locality: [French Guiana], Cajennae [Cayenne].

Type material: Holotype ZMUC

Synonyms

• Zygaena nigricornis Fabricius [original combination]
• Abrochia sodalis Draudt, 1916: 134, pl.19i =; Cerda, 2017
• Pseudosphex nigricornis; Cerda, 2017

• Note: Hampson considered Homoeodera stretchii Butler, 1876 as synonym of Zygaena nigricornis, but Cerda, 2017 demonstrated that he erroneously took for his redescription of nigricornis a specimen of stretchii. Therefore Cosmosoma nigricornis; Hampson (nec Fabricius), 1898, Gymnelia nigricornis; Hampson (nec Fabricius), 1898, and from subsequent authors (Zerny, 1912, Draudt, 1916) are in fact H. stretchii.
