Remarks.

Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 561) examined the specimen in the Spinola collection and considered it as the holotype. But the true holotype (by monotypy) is housed in the Dahlbom collection in LZM. In the Spinola collection, under the name chrysonota , there are three specimens: the male of Spintharis destituta Dahlbom, 1854, an undescribed species of the same genus, and the female of Spintharis chrysonota , with the tip of the metasoma outside the anal margin. The differences listed by Dahlbom describing chrysonota and destituta are sexual dimorphic characteristics and the two species should be considered as male and female of the same species ( Madl and Rosa 2012).

Current status.
