REMARKS: Rondani (1850c: 177) described Pyrellia ochrifacies from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, from material received from E. Truqui. Costa (1866: 33) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “707”. The word “ mas ” [= male] at the beginning of the description is in error. We found two female syntypes in this study.
