REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 162) described Chorthophila terminalis from three females: “ Foeminas tres tantum legi [I collected three females only]”. Hennig (1973b: 650) reported that the MZUF type series consists of three females. We also found all the syntypes in this study. An additional MZUF female from Sicilia [= Sicily] numbered 1203 is not included in the type series because it is not from the type locality. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Chorthophila , which is an “unjustified emendation of Chortophila Macquart, 1835 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 57).
