Abstract
The taxonomic equationsMelanoxylon speciosum Benoist=Recordoxylon amazonicum (Ducke) Ducke andElephantomene eburnea Barneby & Krukoff (1974)=Cionomene javariensis Krukoff (1979) are proposed. The new combinationRecordoxylon speciosum (Benoist) Gazel is validated, and the widely discontinuous distribution of the monotypic genusElephantomene is mapped.
