REMARKS: Rondani (1880: 36) described Limosina fulviceps from two specimens without specifying their sex: “ exemplaria duo speciei observavi, unum … olim a Clar. Staeger missum …; secundum … lectum a Clar. Kowartz [I observed two specimens, one formerly sent by Mr. Staeger … the other by Mr. Kowarz]”. Roháček (1983: 65) designated a lectotype (♂) but did not mention an additional MZUF male, also numbered “1950” (this additional specimen is a paralectotype).
