Blepharopoda pilitarsis Rondani, 1850

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: in Osculati 1850: 242 [ Rondani 1851: 363].

TYPE LOCALITY: “ regioni equatoriali dell’America, principalmente nelle vicinanze del Rio Napo [ Equatorial regions of ( South ) America, mainly in the vicinity of Napo River]” ( Rondani 1851: 357) .

TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, unplaced to genus of Tachinidae ( Guimarães 1971: 194) ; valid species ( O’Hara et al. 2020: 429).

REMARKS: Rondani (1850: 242) described Blepharopoda pilitarsis from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected by Osculati (1850) during his journey through equatorial South America. Leonardi et al. (1995: 148) and Mazzotti (2011: 166) reported the Osculati collection in Milan as destroyed. We also did not find any material during this study.
