Normally O. italica has a more dense punctation than O. rivularis, the edges of the punctures appear sharper. In O. rivularis the punctation of the vertex is weak or absent near the clypeus, whereas in O. italica the distinct punctation reaches the anterior part of the vertex. However, the two species are best distinguished by the shape of the ventral process of the aedeagus and the internal structure of the aedeagus (Figs 16, 21).</p><p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: Austria, Italy, Slovenia.

O. latipennis: Lectotype, together with other specimens in the Sharp collection, labelled as O. latipennis (BMNH) . The lectotype is labelled accordingly, but I do not know, whether this designation is formally published. O. pollinensis: Holotype J: " J / Piani Pollino, VI 951 / Mass. Pollino, Ruffo I. / ex coll. Scheerpeltz / Typus, Ocalea, pollinensis, SCHEERPELTZ " (NHMW).</p><p>R e m a r k s: No number of specimens is given in the original description of O. rivularis . In the collection in Vienna there are two specimens labeled as types. The specimen with the patria information Austria is designated als lectotype.</p><p>O. rivularis has a large morphological variability, as already described by LOHSE (1974) and FAGEL (1957). Lohse suggests that this variability is partly due to geography. O. rivularis has been described from Austria, O. latipennis from Scotland. When analysing more extensive material from different European countries, such a differentiation could not be traced. Larger and darker specimens have been labelled as O. latipennis in collections, but no consistent morphological features can be found to distinguish them from O. rivularis . The same applies to O. pollinensis, which has been described from southern Italy. The synonymy of O. latipennis and O. pollinensis has already been suggested by TERRILE (2023). The external shape of the aedeagus is also variable in size and the shape of the ventral process, but the internal structures are relatively constant. The spermathecae are also variable and not suitable for separation. I therefore propose a single variable species O. rivularis, which can be separated from other Ocalea species by the slender shape of the ventral process and the internal structures of the aedeagus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/131F06550944F127FF26A34DFC67FE79	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
