REMARKS: Rondani (1871a: 336) described Trichophthicus armipes from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ mas lectus [male collected]”, received from by L. Bellardi, to whom he attributed the species name. Five male syntypes were found in this study. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Trichophticus , which is an “unjustified emendation of Tricophthicus Rondani, 1861 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 182).
