R.N. Kilburn proposed in 1989 Brachytoma vexillumHabe & Kosuge, 1966 as a synonym of Ptychobela suturalis (Gray, 1838) [2]
The epithet vexillium was probably a misspelling in the original text, but was not indicated as such. Therefore, it takes priority over vexillum, published five-month later and repeated later by some authors.
