REMARKS: Rondani (1875c: 460) described Chrysops impar from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, from material collected by G. Doria and O. Beccari. Rondani did not select a holotype in his original description. Guiglia (1957: 194) reported “ ♀ Tipo e due cotipi [Type and two cotypes]” in the MSNG. Raineri & Rey (1996: 55) also considered the MSNG specimens as “Typus ♀, 2 Cotypi [Type ♀, 2 Cotypes]”. Guiglia (1957: 194) and Raineri & Rey (1996: 55) did not unambiguously indicate the type, therefore they did not designate a lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Guiglia and Raineri & Rey incorrectly reported the two cotypes in the MSNG instead of in the MZUF. The MSNG female and the two MZUF females are all syntypes.
