ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 223 (key, as albifroas), 225 (description, as albifrons ).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agri parmensis planitie et collibus … Prope Florentiam [Parmese plains and hills … near Florence ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype ( MZUF: Box 14): Sphixapata Rndn. / albifrons Rnd. , ♂ / 721 / lectotype ♂ Sphixapata albifrons Rndn., T. Pape det., 1986 / Senotainia albifrons (R.), T. Pape det., 1986.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Senotainia (Sphixapata) albifrons View in CoL ( Verves 1986: 65, Povolný & Verves 1997: 64); valid species, as Senotainia albifrons View in CoL ( Pape 1988: 5, Pape et al. 1995: 12, Pape 1996: 134; Krčmar et al. 2019: 112).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 225) described both sexes of Sphixapata albifrons without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material he had collected and also received from F.M. Piccioli. Rondani named the species “ albifroas ” in his key (p. 223) but as “ albifrons ” in his description (p. 225). Acting as First Reviser (according to I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 24.2.4), Rondani (1862b: 11) determined the correct original spelling as “ albifrons ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 168). Pape (1988: 5) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (5 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀) but did not mention an additional three specimens: two in the MZUF and one in the MSNPV (all are paralectotypes).
