Leptis apicalis Rondani, 1848

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 88.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, unplaced to genus in Rhagionidae ( James 1968: 6) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 88) described Leptis apicalis , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Costa (1866: 35) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “765”; however, we could not locate any type specimen there during this study. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
