TheoriginaldescriptionsofDoryphoracongenerandDoryphora cliensStål,1858areverysimilarandonlysomedifferenceswere related tothe colorof theelytra and ventral region.The com-parisons of theholotype photos of D. congener (Figs. 1, 2) and D. cliens (Figs. 4, 5), deposited in NHRS, and the comparative examinationof48specimenshelpedustoobservethatthe dif-ferences between these species are only due to intraspeciﬁc variation (Figs. 1–6, 11–16). Also, the male genitalia of speci-mensfromdifferentlocalities(EspíritoSanto,RiodeJaneiroand São Paulo) were dissected and no differences were observed. Therefore, Doryphora cliens is here considered a synonym of Doryphoracongener.
