Dryodromya testacea Rondani, 1856

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 150.

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species .

TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Dryodromia testacea ( Chvála & Wagner 1989: 318, Pesarini et al. 1995: 12, Yang et al. 2007: 345).

REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 150) key for the genus Dryodromya Rondani, 1856 lists Dryodromya testacea as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Dryodromya , which is an “incorrect original spelling” of Dryodromia ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 76) . We could not locate any type specimens of this nominal species during our study.
