REMARKS:
Rondani (1857: 225)
described
Sphixosoma aureifasciata
from just the male sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “
Mas speciei semel a me
captus
[the male of this species collected by me once]”.
Rivosecchi & Mei (1998: 272)
designated a
lectotype
(
♂
). This nominal species was described under the generic name
Spixosoma
, which is an “unjustified emendation of
Sphyxosoma
Rondani, 1856
” (
O’Hara
et al.
2011: 170
).
