REMARKS: Rondani (1865c: 195) described Tryptocera scutellaris without specifying the number , the sex or the length of the specimens under the generic name “ Tryptocera ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Thryptocera Macquart, 1834 or subsequent usage of Tryptocera Macquart, 1834 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 186). We found one syntype in this study.
