REMARKS:
Rondani (1861e: 23)
described
Masicera caudigera
from just the female sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “
Semel capta
foemina
[Collected the female once]”. In his redescription
Rondani (1862a: 48)
stated: “
foeminas aliquas tantum inveni
[I found only some females]”.
Herting (1969: 190)
reported a female in the MZUF. We also found
one female
syntype
in the MZUF.
