Literature. Guérin-Méneville (1847): original description of T. rotundifrons; Bertoloni (1849): original description of T. rondani; Guérin-Méneville (1849): redescription; Boheman (1851): original description of T. heros; Candèze (1857): catalogue; Lacordaire (1857): remark; Klug (1862): catalogue; Gemminger & Harold (1869): catalogue; Harold (1879): remark; Quedenfeldt (1886): remark; Fairmaire (1887): remark; Quedenfeldt (1888): remark; Waterhouse (1888): remark; Candèze (1891): catalogue; Candèze (1893): remark; Schwarz (1896): remark; Kolbe (1897): catalogue; Schwarz (1906): catalogue; Heyne & Taschenberg (1908): catalogue; Fleutiaux (1919): catalogue; Schenkling (1925): catalogue; Fleutiaux (1940): remark; Bünzli & Büttiker (1957): remark; Ferreira (1963): catalogue; Laurent (1964d): revision; Laurent (1965a): remark; Laurent (1965b): distributional note; Laurent (1967): checklist; Girard (1979): distributional note; Wang (1987): remark [probably an error]; Costa et al. (1994): revision.
Remark 1. G uérin-Méneville (1847) described T. rotundifrons together with other taxa from Abyssinia (= Ethiopia), but without exact locality data. However, Laurent (1964d) stated that the type specimen of T. rotundifrons comes from Port Natal (Durban) in South Africa. The type specimen deposited at the RBINS bears the label " Abyssinie, Natal" (J. Constant, pers. com.). The specimen labelled by Laurent as " Type glaber " (T. glaber) from Natal is deposited at the BMNH.
Remark 2. Although this species was dedicated to Carlo Róndani, Bertoloni (1849) used the spelling rondani in the original description, followed by Candèze (1857, 1891, 1893) and Lacordaire (1857). Gemminger & Harold (1869) corrected the spelling to rondanii and this spelling was used by Schwarz (1906), Fleutiaux (1919), Schenkling (1925), Ferreira (1963), and Laurent (1964d, 1965a, 1967). We deem this to be the correct original spelling in application of Art. 33.3.1. of the Code (ICZN 1999).
