Tydeus popocatepetlensis Baker, 1943

Tydeus zempoalensis (Tydeus popocatepetlensis is a j. synonym of Tydeus zempoalensis according to Baker (1947: 134)
Tydeus kochi (Tydeus popocatepetlensis is a j. synonym of Tydeus kochi according to Kaźmierski (1998: 358).

Listed as "ancient species" by Kaźmierski (1998: 357-8).
As Tydeus popocatepetlensis is junior synonym of Tydeus zempoalensis, wich is, in his turn, a junior synonym of Tydeus kochi, it turns out that Tydeus popocatepetlensis is also a junior synonym of Tydeus kochi. The second synonymy recalled by Kaźmierski (1998: 358) is rejected by André (2005: 981).
