REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 137) described both sexes of Exorista falenaria without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, but from more than one specimen because he stated: “ legitur … primo verre et tempore autumnali [collected … in spring and autumn]”. We found ten syntypes in this study.
