Pseudomeira parvula: Solari, 1955: 44 View in CoL ; Abbazzi & Osella, 1992: 305; Abbazzi et al., 1995: 23; Pierotti & Bellò, 1995: 523; Pierotti & Bellò, 1998: 105; Osella et al., 2005; Abbazzi & Maggini, 2009: 62.

This species is indicated as occurring in Sicily most probably based on some specimens in VIT identified as Peritelus parvulus View in CoL , partly from Messina, and partly from Monte Ciccia. However, after studying the Vitale collection, we discovered that those from the first locality are P. obscura View in CoL , and those from the second are P. obscurella View in CoL . Consequently P. parvula View in CoL , known from Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria and Tuscany, is excluded from the Sicilian fauna.
