Abstract: Polana ardua DeLong & Freytag, 1972 comb. nov. Polana (Hobemanella) ardua DeLong & Freytag, 1972: 253. Remarks. The male genitalia of P. ardua (DeLong & Freytag, 1972: 255, figs 74–78) is identical to the genitalia of Acuera insepta DeLong & Freytag, 1974 (see figures 31–35 in DeLong & Freytag, 1974: 189). However, the reported body length, coloration, and structure of head differ. This probably resulted from inadvertent exchange of the dissected abdomens between different specimens, either prior to or during the description. Therefore, at present, this species is considered incertae sedis within Polana.
