Piotepalpus hirtipes
Rondani, 1856

Italian
species
.

MZUF
: Box 64):
Piotepalpus

).
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.
