REMARKS:
Rondani (1875b: 184)
described
Agromyza fronticornis
,
without specifying either the
number
or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being
five specimens
in the type series found in this study. An additional
MZUF
specimen numbered “1854” is not included in the type series because its label is yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and is in a lower row in the Box. We treat the latter to be a subsequent addition, and consider the
five specimens
as
syntypes
.
