REMARKS: Rondani (1877c: 235) described Hylephila melitensis from a female from Malta: “ Exemplar melitense faemineum possideo [I have a female specimen from Malta]” in his redescription of Hylephila buccata Fallén, 1824 . There are two females in the MZUF, just one of which is labeled “ Malta ”. We consider this latter specimen as the holotype of Hylephila melitensis .
