Trichophthalma nubipennis Rondani, 1863 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1863: 52.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Chiliae [ Chile]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype ( MZUN: Box without identification label): Thrichophthalma [sic!] nubipennis Phil ., Chili [= Chile] / M. Zool. N° 11110 [not original labels].

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Trichophthalma nubipennis ( Papavero 1968: 5) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 52) described Trichophthalma nubipennis , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from R.A. Philippi, to whom he attributed the species name. Costa (1866: 36) listed a single MZUN specimen (as Trichophthalma nubipennis Phil. ) numbered “817”. We also found one syntype in this study. Rondani (1863) used the name “ Thrieophthalma ” in the index (p. 98), which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Trichophthalma Westwood, 1835 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 179).
