Sapromyza plumicheta Rondani, 1868 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868c: 236 (key), 243 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agri parmensis … in agro tridentino … in Pedemontio [Parmese territory … Trento’s territory … Piedmont ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (abdomen with terminalia prepared in balsam between cover slips) ( MZUF: Box 29): Sapromyza Fall. / plumicheta Rndn. / 1556 / Lectotypus Minettia plumicheta (Rondani, 1868) , des. by L. Papp, 1981.

PARALECTOTYPES EXAMINED: 8 ♂♂ (one with terminalia and abdomen in balsam in a microvial on a separate pin next to the specimen and one leg in a plastic vial pinned below specimen), 6 ♀♀ (one with right wing in a plastic vial pinned below specimen) ( MZUF: Box 29): Sapromyza Fall. plumicheta Rndn. / 1556 / Paralectotypus Minettia plumicheta (Rondani, 1868) .

PARALECTOTYPES NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♂ (MRSN): 3 64 / 805 / Sapromyza Fall. plumicheta Rond., Sestri P. [= Sestri Ponente (Liguria)], ♂; 1 ♀ (MRSN): [illegible word] / 804 / Sapromyza Fall. plumicheta Rond., Sestri P. [= Sestri Ponente (Liguria)], ♀; 1 ♀ (MRSN): [illegible word] / Sapromyza Fall. plumicheta Rond., Sestri P. [= Sestri Ponente (Liguria)], ♀; 1 ♀ (MRSN): 3 64 / Sapromyza Fall. , plumicheta Rond., Sestri P. [= Sestri Ponente (Liguria)], ♀.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Minettia plumicheta ( Papp 1984a: 201, Nartshuk et al. 1995: 5).

REMARKS: Rondani (1868c: 243) described Sapromyza plumicheta , without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, from material that he had collected and that he had also received from S. Bertolini and L. Bellardi. Papp (1981: 180) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (8 ♂♂, 6 ♀♀) but did not mention an additional four specimens in the MRSN (all are paralectotypes). We consider the four MRSN specimens as paralectotypes even if they are labeled “Sestri Ponente” (Liguria) because this latter is a locality bordering with Piedmont.
