Chetogena media Rondani, 1859 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 177 (key), 181 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus agri parmensis [ Parmese hills ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (missing right fore-, mid- and hind-legs) ( MZUF: Box 12): Chetogena Rnd. / media Rnd. / 612 / “ Questo esemplare è stato osservato da L. Messnil in Agosto 1938 ” [This specimen was observed by L. Messnil in August 1938]; 1 ♂, syntype (partially eaten by dermestids, missing left wing, right fore-, left mid- and left hind-legs) ( MZUF: Box 12): Chetogena Rnd. / media Rnd. / 612; 1 ♂, syntype ( MSNPV: Box 96): Chetogena media Rndn. , 132, ♂, Parma .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 137, Pape et al. 1995: 17, Cerretti 2010: 106; O’Hara et al. 2020: 388).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 181) described both sexes of Chetogena media without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length. We found three male syntypes in this study. The female type has presumably been lost.
