Remarks

Five syntypes were found. The holotype and paratype labels are erroneous as Kieffer did not designate a holotype. The syntype series was analysed by Huggert (1979) who designated a lectotype. The lectotype is mounted on a cork block and has the left antenna and left fore wing mounted on a microslide and the left hind wing missing. Huggert considered one paralectotype male of R. vulgaris to be a different species and designated it the holotype of Trichopria euvulgaris Huggert q.v.
