Syritta abyssinica Rondani, 1873 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1873e: 282.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Keren [Keren ( Eritrea)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, holotype ( MSNG): Bogos 1870, Keren, O. Beccari / Typus / abyssinica Rond. / Siritta [sic!] abyssinica .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Smith & Vockeroth 1980: 507); junior synonym of Syritta fasciata ( Wiedemann, 1830) ( Lyneborg & Barkemeyer 2005: 98) View in CoL . See Remarks.

REMARKS: Rondani (1873e: 282) described Syritta abyssinica from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected by O. Beccari and O. Antinori. Guiglia (1957: 196) and Raineri & Rey (1996: 51) reported the holotype (♀) in the MSNG. The MSNG also contains an additional male (non-type) labeled “ 1.X.1902 ”. Lyneborg & Barkemeyer (2005: 101) incorrectly considered this latter male as the type and the species as a junior synonym of Syritta fasciata ( Wiedemann, 1830) .
