Brachiglossum calceatum Rondani, 1857 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1857: 220 (key), 221 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ ad colle ditionis Parmensis [Parmese hill ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype ( MZUF: Box 8): Brachiglossum Rnd. / calceatum Rnd. , ♀ / 377.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Leopoldius calceatus View in CoL ( Chvála & Smith 1988: 247, Rivosecchi & Scaramozzino 1995: 2, Stuke 2017: 57).

REMARKS: Rondani (1857: 221) described Brachiglossum calceatum from just the female sex without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Semel capta foemina [the female collected once]”. We found one female syntype in this study. The MZUF also contains a male numbered “377”, which Stuke (2017: 57) incorrectly considered as syntype.
