Remarks

This taxon was described as new, appearing as "S. nivia new", while the  preceding taxon, S. varia-nivia was incorrectly listed as being previously described, appearing as "S. varia-nivia Mayn."  This is almost certainly an error in typesetting.  Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 is a junior homonym of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894. 

The holotype of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894 (MCZ 10279) was designated as the lectotype of Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 by Harasewych et al., 2007, making Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 both a junior homonym and an objective junior synonym of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894.
