Description

Xylota coerulea Rondani, 1863

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1863: 8.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Chiliae [Chile]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (very moldy) (MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Sirfidei - Gen. Xylota a Conops): Xylota coerulea Rnd., Chili [= Chile] / M. Zool. N° 11257.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Sterphus coeruleus (Thompson et al. 1976: 116).

REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 8) described Xylota coerulea from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from R.A. Philippi. Costa (1866: 32) listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “637”. We also found one syntype in this study.
