REMARKS: Rondani (1850: 242) described Blepharopoda pilitarsis from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected by Osculati (1850) during his journey through equatorial South America. Leonardi et al . (1995: 148) and Mazzotti (2011: 166) reported the Osculati collection in Milan as destroyed. We also did not find any material during this study.
