Platychyra valida Rondani, 1865 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865c: 201 (key), 203 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (missing left mid-leg) ( MZUF: Box 11): Platychyra Rnd. / valida Rnd., Alp. [= Alps] / 523.

CURRENT STATUS: Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993) did not list it; doubtful species of Playchyra Rondani, 1856 ( Evenhuis & Pape 2020).

REMARKS: Rondani (1865c: 203) described Platychyra valida from the female sex without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens. We found one syntype in this study. This nominal species was described under the generic name Platychyra , which is an “unjustified emendation of Platychira Rondani, 1856 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 147).
