REMARKS: Rondani (1875c: 455) described Tabanus justorius from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material collected by G. Doria and O. Beccari. Ricardo (1911: 193) reported two females in the MSNG, one of which she unambiguously identified as the type (the specimen labeled as such), which therefore must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Guiglia (1957: 197) and Raineri & Rey (1996: 54) incorrectly reported the holotype (♀) in the MSNG.
