Tabanus piceiventris Rondani, 1848 View in CoL View at ENA
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 106.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Tabanidei—Gen. Tabanus ): Tabanus piceiventris Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 10953 / probable type of T. piceiventris Rond., G.B. Fairchild 1964 .
CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Fairchild 1971: 99, Coscarón & Papavero 2009: 139).
REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 106) described Tabanus piceiventris from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Costa (1866: 38) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “889”. We also found one syntype in this study. Philip (1965a: 121) and Fairchild (1971: 99) reported a single type specimen (♀) in the MZUN.Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
