REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 127) described both sexes of Homalomya pallitibia without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths. We found five syntypes in this study. An additional three MZUF specimens numbered “1334” are not included in the type series because their labels are yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and are in a lower row in the Box, for which reason we treat them to be subsequent additions. This nominal species was described under the generic name Homalomya , which is an “unjustified emendation of Homalomyia Bouché, 1834 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 97) and that Rondani (1866a: 123; 1877c: 42) considered as a senior synonym of Myantha Rondani, 1856 .
