REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 44) described both sexes of Cnephalia albisquama without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Mas a me bis lectus …, foemina semel capta [the male collected twice …, the female once]”. Herting (1969: 190) reported a single male in the MZUF. We found two syntypes in this study: one male in the MZUF and one specimen (sex not determinable) in the MSNC.
