REMARKS: Rondani (1875c: 459) described Chrysops unizonatus from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being two specimens in the type series found in this study, from material collected by G. Doria and O. Beccari. Guiglia (1957: 194) reported a “ holotype ” in the MSNG without knowing of an additional female in the MZUF, which brings the original syntype series to two specimens. In his original description Rondani did not explicitly refer to a single specimen therefore Guiglia’s “ holotype ” specimen must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.6). Raineri & Rey (1996: 55) also reported a single specimen in the MSNG. The additional female in the MZUF not examined by Guiglia is a paralectotype.
