Remarks: Bradley (1963: 152) states that a male specimen from the Zeller collection from ’Schneebg’ [ Austria: Schneeberg] is the holotype of E. gangabella . This is not in accordance with Zeller’s (1850) original statement of the type locality ( Italy, Pisa). Therefore, Parenti’s (1977: 27) lectotype designation stands.
