REMARKS:
Rondani (1880: 36)
described
Limosina puerula
without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “
Nondum in
Italia lecta
: specimina observavi a Clar. Kowartz a
Bohemia missa
, et
unum
germanicum a Clar. De Roder
[Not yet collected in
Italy
: I observed specimens sent by Mr. Kowartz from
Bohemia
, and one from
Germany
by Mr. von Roder]”.
Roháček (1983: 96)
designated a
lectotype
(
♀
) and
paralectotypes
(
2 ♂♂
) but did not mention an additional
two specimens
in the MZUF (both of these additional specimens are
paralectotypes
). Roháček considered as a
paralectotype
one specimen
labeled Bozen (formerly the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now
Italy
).
