Ceracia mucronifera Rondani 1865

Description

Ceracia mucronifera Rondani, 1865

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865c: 222.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Apennino parmensi [Parmese Apennines (Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 6 ♂♂, syntypes (one missing mid-legs; one missing right mid-leg; one missing right fore- and left mid-legs) (MZUF: Box 17): Ceracia Rndn. / mucronifera Rnd. / 881.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 174, Pape et al. 1995: 18, Cerretti 2010: 161, O’Hara & Cerretti 2016: 64, O’Hara et al. 2020: 187).

REMARKS: Rondani (1865c: 222) described Ceracia mucronifera from just the male sex without specifying the exact number of specimens: “ Mas bis lectus [the male collected twice]”. We found six syntypes in this study.A MZUF female numbered “881” is not included in the type series because of its sex. Herting (1969: 196) reported seven males in the MZUF. We found only six specimens in the MZUF.
