ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 213.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro parmensi, praesertim collino [Parmese territory (Italy), above all on the hills]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing mid-legs) (MZUF: Box 14): Hilarella Rndn. / italica Rndn. / 708 / lectotype ♂ Hilarella italica Rnd., T. Pape det., 86.

PARALECTOTYPE EXAMINED: 1 ♂ (MZUF: Box 14): Hilarella Rndn. / italica Rndn. / 708 / paralectotype.

PARALECTOTYPE NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♀ (missing right fore- and both mid-legs) (MZUF: Box D): Hilarella R. italica R., 267, Apenn. [= Apennines] / 393 267; 1 ♂ (in poor condition, only part of thorax and abdomen, right wing, right mid-, hind- and left hind-legs) (MSNC: Box DIPTERA Ex collezione Rondani - I): Hilarella Rnd. italica Rnd. 86 ♂ Parma / Coll. Rondani, scatola n° 1, posiz. H-1 / Museo di Storia Naturale Università di Pisa, Calci (PI) ex collezione Rondani.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Hilarella stictica (Meigen, 1830) (Verves 1986: 94, Pape 1988: 9, 1996: 155); junior synonym of Taxigramma stictica (Meigen, 1830) (Evenhuis & Pape 2020).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 213) described both sexes of Hilarella italica without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens. Pape (1988: 9) designated a lectotype (♂) and a paralectotype (♂) but did not mention an additional female in the MZUF and a male in the MSNC (both of these additional specimens are paralectotypes). Hilarella stictica (Meigen, 1830) sensu Pape (1996) is currently considered a as Taxigramma stictica (Meigen, 1830) (Krčmar et al. 2019), which we follow here.
