REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 134) described Exorista crassiseta from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths: “ foeminas tantum raro legi [I collected females only rarely]”, thus excluding the two males numbered “633”. We found three syntypes in this study: two females in the MZUF and one specimen (sex not determinable) in the MSNC .
