REMARKS:
Rondani (1880: 18)
described
Gonioneura bisangula
from a single specimen without specifying its sex: “
Nunc cognovi unici mei exemplaris, mucore deformati, notas distinctivas inobservabiles esse
[now I have realized that the distinctive characters of my single specimen deformed by mold are not observable]”.
Munari’s (1991: 29)
study of the specimen in the MZUF led him to suppose that Rondani replaced the specimen upon which he described the species, presumably because the original was in very poor condition, with a subsequent specimen.
