Cardiacephala podagrica
Rondani, 1848
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 86.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
Brasile
[
Brazil
]” (
Rondani 1848b: 63
); [Belem (Pará),
Brazil
] (
Papavero 1973: 343
). See Remarks.
TYPE
MATERIAL: not found in this study.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species (
Ferro & Marshall 2018: 442
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1848b: 86)
described
Cardiacephala podagrica
,
without specifying the
number
or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. This is one of the few exotic species described in
Rondani (1848b)
that
Costa (1866)
did not list as in the MZUN. We could not locate any
type
specimens of this nominal species during our study. Although
Rondani (1848b: 63)
only gave the
type
locality as “
Brasile
”,
Papavero (1973: 343)
gave a more accurate
type
locality based on a note in
Spinola (1853)
that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará,
Brazil
.
