REMARKS: Rondani (1873c: 285) described Somomyia cuprinitens from just the male sex, giving a single measurement of length, from material collected by O. Beccari and O. Antinori. Guiglia (1957: 196) and Raineri & Rey (1996: 33) reported the holotype (♂) in the MSNG. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Somomyia , which is “an unjustified emendation of Somomya Bertoloni, 1861 ” (O’Hara et. al. 2011: 166).
