Description

Gonypus breviventris Rondani, 1848

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 96.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [Brazil]” (Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] (Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, missing right wing, right fore- and mid-legs, abdomen and antennae) (MZUN: Box Asilidei A 05, 04): Gonypus breviventris Rnd., Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11076.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Systellogaster breviventris (Martin 1968: 6); valid species, as Systologaster breviventris (Papavero 2009: 111).

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 96) described Gonypus breviventris, without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani and received from G. Mussino. Costa (1866: 36) listed a single MZUN specimen (as Gonipes [sic !]) numbered “785”. We also found one syntype in this study. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
