REMARKS:
Rondani (1875c: 457)
described
Tabanus dives
from just the female sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material collected by G.
Doria
and O. Beccari.
Ricardo (1911: 186
; 207) reported that the type series consists of
two females
in the MSNG (instead of three), but did not mention another
three females
in the MZUF, which bring the original type series to
six specimens
.
Guiglia (1957: 197)
reported a “
holotype
” in the MSNG. In his original description Rondani did not explicitly refer to a single specimen, therefore Guiglia’s “
holotype
” specimen must be considered as the
lectotype
(I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.6).
Raineri & Rey (1996: 54)
reported just
one specimen
in the MSNG. The additional specimens not examined by Ricardo or Guiglia (
two females
in the MSNG and the
three females
in the MZUF) are
paralectotypes
.
