REMARKS:
Rondani (1859b: 186)
described
Thricolyga minor
from just the female sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “
Rarissimo foeminam legi
[I collected the female rarely]”. We found
one syntype
in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name “
Thricolyga
”, which is an “incorrect original spelling of
Tricoliga
Rondani, 1856
” (
O’Hara
et al.
2011: 180
).
