Spathulina sicula Rondani, 1856 View in CoL View at ENA

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 113.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Sicilia [Sicily ( Italy)]” ( Rondani 1871c: 168) .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, holotype (very dirty) ( MZUF: Box 33): Spathulina Rnd. / sicula Rnd., Sicil. / 1729.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Foote 1984: 124, Belcari et al. 1995b: 11, Norrbom et al. 1999: 208).

REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 113) key for the genus Spathulina Rondani, 1856 lists Spathulina sicula as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. In his redescription Rondani (1871c: 168) specified having a single female: “ Foeminam unicam in Sicilia captam a Ghiliani, olim Clar. Spinola mihi transmisit [Mr. Spinola formerly sent to me a single female collected in Sicilia by Ghiliani]”. We consider the single MZUF female as the holotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Articles 72.4.1.1 and 73.1.2).
