Cirillia angustifrons Rondani, 1856 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 80 (as “ ancutifrons ”); unpaged errata (as “ angustifrons View in CoL ”).

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but later (1861e: 143) added “ in collibus agri parmensis [ Parmese hills ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (abdomen partially eaten by dermestids, missing right mid- and hind-legs) ( MZUF: Box 17): Cirillia Rndn. / angustifrons Rnd. / 897 / lectotype ♂, Cirillia angustifrons Rnd., T. Pape det., 1986 / Phyto angustifrons (R.), T. Pape det., 1986.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Phyto angustifrons ( Pape 1989: 356) View in CoL ; valid species, as Cirillia angustifrons (Herting 1993: 110) View in CoL ; valid species, as Phyto angustifrons View in CoL ( Pape et al. 1995: 16, Peris & González-Mora 2007: 50, Cerretti et al. 2020: 87).

REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 80) key for the genus Cirillia Rondani, 1856 lists Cirillia angustifrons as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex, except for one specific male character, of the specimens. In his redescription Rondani (1861e: 142) indicated: “ Foeminam unicam legi, et raro mascula [I collected a single female, rarely males]”. Pape (1989: 356) designated the MZUF specimen as a lectotype (♂) and wrote: “I have abstained from designating any [sic!] of the two female specimens as paralectotypes as either (or none) could have been present in the original material upon which the description was made”. O’Hara et al. (2011: 61) reported that “ Rondani (1856: unpaged errata) corrected his spelling from Cirillia ancutifrons (p. 80) to Cirillia angustifrons ”.
