type
locality for

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Hilarella hilarella
(

)
(
Verves 1986: 94
,
Pape 1988: 16
); junior synonym of

.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1856: 70)
proposed
Hilarella
as a new genus and identified
Miltogramma hilarella
Zetterstedt, 1844
as the type species. Having used the species epithet for the new nominal genus and thinking that the name
Hilarella hilarella
was incorrect, Rondani incorrectly substituted it with
Hilarella zetterstedtii
.
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 514)
,
Rohdendorf (1935: 115)
,
Verves (1986: 94)
and
Pape (1988: 16
,
1996: 153
) placed
Hilarella zetterstedtii
Rondani,
1856
in synonymy with
Miltogramma hilarella
, while
Schiner (1861b: 504
,
1864: 90
) and
Brauer & Bergenstamm (1889: 114)
considered it as a valid species. The type material for
Hilarella zetterstedtii
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Miltogramma hilarella
. Townsend (1931: 374) designated a
lectotype
for
Miltogramma hilarella
in the MZLU.
O’Hara
et al.
(2011)
considered the name
Hilarella zetterstedtii
as an “unnecessary new replacement name” (p. 96) and (incorrectly) as an “unavailable name” (p. 215).
