Exorista barbatula Rondani, 1859 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 122 (key), 145 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in planitie prope Parmam [on plains near Parma (Italy) ]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♂♂, syntypes (one covered with mold, partially eaten by dermestids, missing right fore-leg, the other covered with mold, right wing broken, missing fore-, hind-, and right mid-legs) ( MZUF: Box 13): Exorista Mgn / barbatula Rnd. ♂. / 651.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Paratryphera barbatula ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 176, Pape et al. 1995: 19, O’Hara et al. 2009: 86, Cerretti 2010: 168, O’Hara et al. 2020: 373).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 145) described Exorista barbatula from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being two specimens in the type series found in this study: “ Mas tantum lectus [collected the male only]”. We consider the two specimens as syntypes.
