ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:
Elasmocera cingulata
Rondani, 1845
;
Asilus limbatus
Fabricius, 1794
(as “
Dasipogon
,
Limbatus
Fab.
”).
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Elasmocera cingulata
Rondani, 1845
, by monotypy
.
CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of
Ancylorhynchus
Berthold, 1827
[
teste
Lehr (1988: 233)
].
FAMILY:
ASILIDAE
.
REMARKS: Previous catalogs have listed the
type
species as
Elasmocera cingulata
Rondani, 1845
, by monotypy (e.g.,
Lehr, 1988: 233
). This is incorrect as there are two originally included species. The first to subsequently designate a
type
species was
Hull (1962: 216)
who designated
Elasmocera cingulata
Rondani, 1845
. Although Hull mistook the typification as by monotypy, this designation serves as the first valid subsequent designation of a
type
species from originally included species.
Rondani (1856: 159)
designated
Asilus glaucius
Rossi, 1790
, but this was not an originally included species.

REMARKS: This name appeared only in the index to
