REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 16) described Thryptocera antennalis , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being five specimens in the type series found in this study, from material that he collected and that he had also received from F.M. Piccioli. We consider the five specimens as syntypes.
