REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 109) described Chetolyga cilitibia from a few males: “ mares tantum aliquos observavi … captos a Prof. Bellardi [I observed some males only collected by Prof. Bellardi]”. We found four male syntypes in this study. Rondani attributed the species name to L. Bellardi. This nominal species was described under the generic name “ Chetolyga ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Chetoliga Rondani, 1856 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 54).
