Pangonia suturalis Rondani, 1848 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 107.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (dirty, missing right fore-leg) ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Tabanidei - Gen. Pangonia a Corizoneura ): Pangonia suturalis Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 10899 / probable type of Pangonia suturalis Rond., C.B. Fairchild, 1964 .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Esenbeckia suturalis View in CoL ( Fairchild 1971: 107, Coscarón & Papavero 2009: 28).

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 107) described Pangonia suturalis from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Rondani (1863: 85) listed this nominal species as “ saturalis ”, which is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Costa (1866: 39) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “913”. Philip (1965a: 120) and Fairchild (1971: 107) reported a single type specimen (♀) in the MZUN. We also found one syntype in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name “ Pangonia ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Pangonius Latreille, 1802 or subsequent usage of Pangonia Macquart, 1834 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 138). Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
