REMARKS:
Rondani (1875c: 460)
described
Chrysops impar
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. Rondani did not select a
holotype
in his original description.
Guiglia (1957: 194)
reported “
♀
Tipo e due cotipi [Type and two cotypes]” in the MSNG.
Raineri & Rey (1996: 55)
also considered the MSNG specimens as “Typus
♀
, 2 Cotypi [Type
♀
, 2 Cotypes]”.
Guiglia (1957: 194)
and
Raineri & Rey (1996: 55)
did not unambiguously indicate the type, therefore they did not designate a
lectotype
(I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Guiglia and Raineri & Rey incorrectly reported the two cotypes in the MSNG instead of in the MZUF. The MSNG female and the two MZUF females are all
syntypes
.
