REMARKS:
Rondani (1865a: 146)
described
Zodion erythrurum
from just the male sex, without specifying either the
number
or the length of the specimens, from material received from F.M. Piccioli.
Stuke (2017: 235)
reported
two female
syntypes
in the MZUF. We also consider the
two female
syntypes
to have been mis-sexed by Rondani.
