Description

Merodon aerarius Rondani, 1857

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1857: 53 (key), 60 (description).

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

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (MZUF: Box 2): Merodon Fb. Latr. / aerarius Rndn., Apenn. [= Apennines] / 56 / Merodon aeneus Fabr., det. Hurkmans, 1987; 1 ♂, syntype (MSNPV: Box 99): Merodon aerarius Rnd., 364, Apenn. [= Apennines].

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Merodon aeneus Meigen, 1822 (Peck 1988: 166, Belcari et al. 1995a: 16); junior synonym of M. aureus (Fabricius, 1805) (Milankov et al. 2008: 1125).

REMARKS: Rondani (1857: 60) described Merodon aerarius from just the male sex without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ Mares tantum lecti [I collected only males]”. We found two syntypes in this study.
