Ptilocheta bertei Rondani, 1865 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865c: 227.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in apennino parmensi [ Parmese Apennines ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, holotype (missing fore- and right mid-legs) ( MZUF: Box 17): Ptilocheta Rndn. / bertei Rnd. / 892.

CURRENT STATUS: nomen dubium View in CoL in Stevenia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL (Herting 1993: 114, Peris & González-Mora 2007: 53); valid species, as Stevenia bertei Cerretti et al. 2020: 98 View in CoL ).

REMARKS: Rondani (1865c: 227) described Ptilocheta bertei from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens: “ lectus mas a Doct. Eugenio Bertéo [the male collected by Dr. Eugenio Bertéo]”. Pape (1989) did not list this nominal species. Cerretti et al. (2020: 98) considered the single male in the MZUF as the holotype. O’Hara et al. (2011: 155) considered Ptilocheta as an “unnecessary new replacement name for Ptilocera Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ”.
