This taxon was cataloged as a valid species by METCALF (1957). MEDLER (1990a) treated speciosa as a junior synonym of nigrocincta because no differences were found in male and female genitalia among type specimens. superba, Plata, MELICHAR, 1901, p. 206; Flauda supcrba, METCALF, 1957, p. 50. - Paralectotype male, Sierra Leone; here designated. The lectotype male in the Berlin-Humboldt Museum was designated by MEDLER (1990b). A male from Sierra Leone, det. superba by MELICHAR, is a misidentified specimen of Flatida pallida var. limbata (FABRICIUS). undulatus, Flatoides, MELICHAR, 1902, p. 210; Paraflatoides undulatus, MEUCHAR, 1923, p. 118. - Lectotype male, paralectotypes male, 2 females, Madagascar, Antongil Bay, MOCQUERYS; here designated.
