REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 68) key for the genus Botria Rondani, 1856 lists Botria pascuorum as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. He later ( Rondani 1859b: 167) supplied a detailed description of the species and provided specific characters for the male and female. We found 12 syntypes in this study.
