Atomosia cyanescens Rondani, 1848 View in CoL
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 92.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, syntype (missing antennae) ( MZUN: Box Asilidei A 05, 05): Atomosia cyanescens Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11032 .
CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Martin & Papavero 1970: 46, Papavero 2009: 17).
REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 92) described Atomosia cyanescens , without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani and received from G. Mussino. Costa (1866: 36) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “807”. We also found one syntype in this study. 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.
