REMARKS:
Rondani (1875c: 439)
described
Nothybus longithorax
,
without specifying either the
number
or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being
three specimens
in the type series found in this study, from material collected by G.
Doria
and O. Beccari. Rondani did not select a
holotype
in his original description.
Guiglia (1957: 195)
reported “
Tipo e 1 cotipo
(
esemplare senza capo
) [Type and 1 cotype (specimen missing its head)]” in the MSNG.
Raineri & Rey (1996: 44)
also considered the MSNG specimens as “Typus, 1 Cotypus [Type, 1 Cotype]”.
Guiglia (1957: 195)
and
Raineri & Rey (1996: 44)
did not unambiguously indicate the type, therefore they did not designate a
lectotype
(I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.6). Neither Guiglia nor Raineri & Rey mentioned the MZUF male. The two MSNG males and the MZUF male are all
syntypes
.
