REMARKS:
Rondani (1862d: 202)
described
Pollenia ruficrura
from
two males
: “
Mares duo tantum lecti
[collected only
two males
]”.
Rognes (1991a: 456)
designated a
lectotype
(
♀
) and
paralectotype
(
♀
) and stated that: “In Rondani’s collection (MZUF) are two conspecific females under the name
ruficrura
both numbered 1106. They fit the original description [except for the sex] and obviously constitute the syntypic series” (1991a: 453).
