REMARKS: Rondani (1840b: 17) described Brachineura fuscogrisea without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens but his original description of the genus Brachineura Rondani, 1840 provides specific characters for the male and female so he had both sexes. Gagné & Solinas (1996: 73) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotype (♂) but did not mention an additional two specimens (sex not determinable) in the OUMNH (both of these additional specimens are paralectotypes).
