REMARKS: Rondani (1861e: 100) described Phoricheta fuliginaria without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens. We found three syntypes in this study. An additional MZUF female numbered “835” from “Sicil. [= Sicily]” is not included in the type series because it is not from the type locality.
