REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 97) described both sexes of Yetodesia meridionalis without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Exemplaria utriusque sexus … misit doct. Piccioli, et specimen, masculum dom. Schembri [Doct. Piccioli sent specimens of both sexes … and Schembri sent a male specimen]”. We found five syntypes in this study.
