REMARKS:
Rondani (1861b: 218)
described
Elomya umbripennis
from just the male sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens and not giving a range of lengths: “
Foeminas non cognovi, forte ab
aliis
specierum affinium non distinguendas
[I did not know females, perhaps indistinguishable from similar species]”. We found
four syntypes
in this study.
