Thricolyga minor Rondani, 1859 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 185 (key), 186 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in planitie parmensi [ Parmese plains ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (head eaten by dermestids, missing mid-legs) ( MZUF: Box 13): Thrycolyga [sic!] Rndn. / minor Rnd. / 670.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Exorista (Adenia) nympharum (Rondani, 1859) ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 126) .

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 186) described Thricolyga minor from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Rarissimo foeminam legi [I collected the female rarely]”. We found one syntype in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name “ Thricolyga ”, which is an “incorrect original spelling of Tricoliga Rondani, 1856 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 180).
