Aspilia brumalis
Rondani, 1866
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1866a: 87 (key), 88 (description).
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
in
Insubria Alpina
[
Insubrian
(=
Lombardy
,
Italy
)
Alps
]”
.
TYPE MATERIAL:
3 ♂♂
(only two of them are
syntypes
but are not labeled as such) (one with abdomen crushed, missing left wing, left mid- and hind-legs) (
MZUF
: Box 22):
Aspilia
Rnd.
/
brumalis
Rnd., Alpi
/ 1160.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as
Drymeia brumalis
(
Pont 1986b: 71
,
Gorodkov
et al.
1995: 10
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1866a: 88)
described
Aspilia brumalis
from
two males
: “
Mares duos … captos, misit olim
D. Marietti
[Two males captured, formerly sent by
D. Marietti
]”. Only two of the three
MZUF
males belong to the type series because Rondani mentioned just
two males
in his original description. These males did not have any label indicating their type status. We are unable to single out the
two males
upon which Rondani based his description. We leave the recognition of the
two male
syntypes
to a future specialist
.
