REMARKS:
Rondani (1850c: 190)
described
Sargus claviventris
from just the female sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being
two specimens
in the type series found in this study, from material received from E. Truqui.
Costa
(1866: 38)
listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “869”. We consider the
two specimens
as
syntypes
.
