Richardia laterina Rondani, 1848 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 83.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 specimen, holotype (sex not determinable, completely covered with mold, missing head) ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Tachinidei - Gen. Ceratoxis a Diopsis ) : “ Richardia laterina Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11443 / ♂ .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Steyskal 1968c: 9).

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 83) described Richardia laterina from a single specimen, without specifying its sex, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Exemplar unicum mihi notum hujus speciei antennis caret [The only specimen that I know lacks antennae]”, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani and received from G. Mussino. Costa (1866: 34) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “737”.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.
