Species:

Apeplopoda musca (Schaus, 1892): 275 [1]

Type locality: Mexico, Jalapa.

Type material: USNM. Holotype male by monotypy.

Pseudomya musca Schaus, 1892 (Original combination)
Thrinacia pontia Druce, 1894: 172 [2]; Laguerre, 2025: 38
Apeplopoda pontia (Druce,1894); Laguerre, 2025: 38
Apeplopoda musca; Laguerre, 2025: 38
Notes: Thrinacia pontia and Pseudomya musca were synonymized with Saurita ochracea (Felder, 1874) by Hampson, 1898:272 [3]. Laguerre (2025) reestablished Apeplopoda musca as bona species (separate from Apeplopoda ochracea), and synonymized Apeplopoda pontia with Apeplopoda musca.
