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: not found in this study. CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Martin & Papavero 1970: 73 ); junior synonym of Mallophora barbipes (Wiedemann, 1819) ( Artigas & Angulo 1980: 40 , Papavero 2009: 37 ). REMARKS: Rondani (1851: 367) described Mallophora cilicrura , without specifying either the number or the sex of the 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. Artigas & Angulo (1980: 40) concluded that the type of this nominal species had been lost. Leonardi et al . (1995: 148) and Mazzotti (2011: 166) reported the Osculati collection in Milan as destroyed. Papavero (2009: 37) reported the type material in the MZUN; however, we could not locate any type specimens there in this study.
