REMARKS:
Rondani (1878a: 152)
described
Lipoptena capreoli
from just the female sex, without specifying the exact
number
of specimens and not giving a range of lengths: “
Faem. …
Mas ignotus
… Coll. Pr. Bellardi
[Female … Male unknown … Coll. Prof. Bellardi]”.
Maa (1963: 23)
designated a
lectotype
(
♀
) and, incorrectly because of its sex, a
paralectotype
(
♂
), and did not mention the MRSN female (this additional specimen is a
paralectotype
).
