TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species . TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀ , syntype (missing left mid- and right fore-legs) ( MZUF : Box 64): Piotepalpus Rndn. / hirtipes Rndn. , Parma / 3292. CURRENT STATUS: nomen dubium in Cordyla Meigen, 1803 (Hackman in Hackman et al. 1988: 311 ). REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 196) key for the genus Piotepalpus Rondani, 1856 lists Piotepalpus hirtipes as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. We found one syntype in this study. O’Hara et al . (2011: 210) listed this nominal species as “ hitripes ”, which is an incorrect subsequent spelling.
