Leucopis bursaria Rondani 1848

Description

Leucopis bursaria Rondani, 1848

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848a: 437.

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Parma (Italy) because he referred to observations made by himself and E. Berté (from Parma).

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (with puparium, dissected) (MZUF: Box 35): Leucopis Mgn / bursaria Rnd., [illegible words] … in galle ulmi / 1818 / Lectotypus Leucopis bursaria Rondani det. G. Morge, Ex. 15 [not designated] / Lectotypus ♂ Leucopis (Leucopis) bursaria Rondani, 1847 [sic !], A. Raspi det.

PARALECTOTYPE NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♂ (MZUF: Box 35): Leucopis Mgn / bursaria Rnd., [illegible words] … in galle ulmi / 1818 / Syntypus Chamaemyia bursaria (Rond.), det. G. Morge, Ex. 16.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species (Tanasijtshuk 1984: 226, Nartshuk et al. 1995: 7, Raspi 2003: 101).

REMARKS: Rondani (1848a: 437) described Leucopis bursaria from two specimens received from E. Berté who reared them from larvae mining the leaves of the black poplar Populus nigra Linnaeus, 1753. Raspi (2003: 105) designated a lectotype (♂) but did not mention an additional male in the MZUF numbered “1818” (this additional specimen is a paralectotype).
