Pachipalpus calceatus
Rondani, 1856
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 196.
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:
3 specimens
,
syntypes
(sex not determinable, all completely covered with mold) (
MZUF
: Box 64):
Pachipalpus
Macq.
/
calceatus
mihi / 3291.
CURRENT STATUS:
Hackman
et al
. (1988)
did not list it; doubtful species of
Mycetophilidae (
Evenhuis & Pape 2020
)
.
REMARKS:
Rondani’s (1856: 196)
key for the genus
Pachipalpus
Macquart, 1834
lists
Pachipalpus calceatus
as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality,
number
or sex of the specimens. We found
three syntypes
in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name
Pachipalpus
, which is an “unjustified emendation of
Pachypalpus
Macquart, 1834
” (
O’Hara
et al.
2011: 136
).
