Dilophus similis Rondani, 1868 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868b: 40.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Buenos Aires [Buenos Aires ( Argentina)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype, 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, abdomen mostly covered with mold, missing left hind-leg) ( MZUF: Box 71): Dilophus similis Rnd., Amer. M. [= South America] / [no identification number ] .

CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Hardy 1966a: 11).

REMARKS: Rondani (1868b: 40) described Dilophus similis , without specifying the number , the sex or the length of the specimens, from material received from P. Strobel. We found two syntypes in this study. Rondani (1868b) indicated the type locality as Buenos Aires ( Argentina) where Strobel taught from 1865–1867, but the specimens are labeled “ Am. Mer.” (= “ America Meridionali ”) [South America].
