Remarks:
Bradley (1963: 152)
states that a male specimen from the Zeller collection from ’Schneebg’ [
Austria
: Schneeberg] is the
holotype
of
E. gangabella
.
This is not in accordance with
Zeller’s (1850)
original statement of the type locality (
Italy
, Pisa). Therefore,
Parenti’s (1977: 27)
lectotype
designation stands.
