status

 

Nerius marginellus Rondani, 1848 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 84.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Odontoscelia marginellus ( Steyskal 1968b: 5) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 84) described Nerius marginellus , without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. This is one of the few exotic species described in Rondani (1848b) that Costa (1866) did not list as in the MZUN. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil. We could not locate any type specimens of this nominal species during our study.
