REMARKS: Rondani (1861e: 27) described both sexes of Masicera spinuligera without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, treating it within the subgenus Ceromasia Rondani, 1856 , which is now considered as a valid genus ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 50). We found 11 syntypes in this study.
