TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil ]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63 ); [Belem (Pará), Brazil ] ( Papavero 1973: 343 ). See Remarks. TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀ , syntype (covered with mold) ( MZUN : Box Coll. entomol. Extra-europea, Fam. Sirfidei - Gen. Aphritis a Phalacromya ): Phalacromya submetallica Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11216 / . CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Copestylum submetallicum ( Thompson et al. 1976: 85 ) . REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 67) described Phalacromya submetallica from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Costa (1866: 31) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “605”. We also found one syntype in 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 .
