Rivalier (1950) described Apterodela as a subgenus of Cylindera and designated the Asian species C. ovipennis Bates, 1883 as the type specues. Given the polyphyly of Cylindera (Duran & Gough 2019; Gough et al. 2019) and a monophyletic and morphologically distinct Apterodela (Sota et al. 2011), Duran & Gough (2019) raised the clade to become a full genus.
Resultant from this, the new combination Apterodela unipunctata (Fabricius, 1775) was formally enacted by Duran & Gough (2019: 5).

Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
