REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 128) described both sexes of Homalomya cilicrura , from an unspecified number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length. We found four syntypes in this study. This nominal species was described under the generic name Homalomya , which is an “unjustified emendation of Homalomyia Bouché, 1834 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 97) and that Rondani (1866a: 123; 1877c: 42) considered as a senior synonym of Myantha Rondani, 1856 .
