TYPE LOCALITY: “ regioni equatoriali dell’America, principalmente nelle vicinanze del Rio Napo [ Equatorial regions of ( South ) America , mainly in the vicinity of Napo River ]” ( Rondani 1851: 357 ) . TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂ , syntype (partially eaten by dermestids) ( MZUN : Box Muscidae M02, 15): Somomya ionicroma [ sic !] Rnd., Rio Napo / M. Zool. N° 11399. CURRENT STATUS: James (1970) did not list it; available name ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 210 ). REMARKS: Rondani (1851: 366) described Mya jonicroma from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected by Osculati (1850) during his journey through equatorial South America. Osculati (1850: 240) named but did not describe the species. Costa (1866: 33) listed a single MZUN specimen (as Somomyia [ sic !] jonichroma [ sic !]) numbered “699” (Napo River). Leonardi et al . (1995: 148) and Mazzotti (2011: 166) reported the Osculati collection in Milan as being destroyed. We found one syntype in this study.
