REMARKS:
Rondani’s (1856: 88)
key for the genus
Proboscina
Rondani, 1856
lists
Proboscina longipes
as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality,
number
or sex of the specimens. We found
two syntypes
in this study. In his redescription of the species under the generic name
Rhynchista
,
Rondani (1862d: 163)
indicated having collected the male sex: “
marem speciei … legi
[I collected … the male of the species]”.
Morge (1959b: 90)
listed the specimen in the MZUB under the generic name “
Rostrina
”, which is an unavailable name and treated under
Rhynchista
(
O’Hara
et al.
2011: 200
)
