REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 165) described both sexes of Chorthophila cilicrura , from an unspecified number of specimens. Seventeen syntypes were found in this study. A MZUF male numbered “1215” and labeled “Asch 2 [1]870/9” is not included in the type series because it was collected at Asch [= Aš, Czech Republic] by F. Kowarz and later donated to Rondani ( Hennig 1974c: 905, Claussen & Thomson 1996: 280). Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Chorthophila , which is an “unjustified emendation of Chortophila Macquart, 1835 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 57).
