REMARKS: Rondani (1857: 94) described Eumerus lejops from just the male sex: “ Marem ter legi …, et alterum … D. Piccioli misit [I collected the male three times …, and Mr. Piccioli sent another one to me]”. We found four syntypes in this study.A female numbered “138” in the MZUF (Box 4) is not included in the type series because of its sex .
