Hyperalonia Rondani 1863

Description

264. Hyperalonia Rondani, 1863: 57, 58 [1864a: 58].

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Exoprosopa audouinii Macquart, 1840 (as “ Andouinii ”); Exoprosopa servillei Macquart, 1840; Anthrax cerberus Fabricius, 1794; Exoprosopa albicincta Macquart, 1840; Anthrax erythrocephala Fabricius, 1805 (as “ Erithrocephala ” on page 57); Exoprosopa guerinii Macquart, 1846; Exoprosopa pilatei Macquart, 1846; Exoprosopa fuscipennis Macquart, 1848 (as “ Fascipennis ”), Exoprosopa hymalajensis Macquart, 1840 (as “ Hymalajensis ”); Exoprosopa coeruleiventris Macquart, 1846; Exoprosopa albiventris Macquart, 1848; Exoprosopa surinamensis Rondani, 1863; Exoprosopa chilensis Rondani, 1863.

TYPE SPECIES: Anthrax erythrocephala Fabricius, 1805, by subsequent designation (Dallas, 1866: 649).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Evenhuis & Greathead (1999: 399)].

FAMILY: BOMBYLIIDAE.

REMARKS: Originally proposed as a subgenus of Exoprosopa Macquart, 1840. The species-group name “ hymalajensis ” was originally included (on page 57) but was never described, so is unavailable. Costa (1866: 37) listed a “ Hyperalonia hymalajensis Macquart ” among the Rondani collection in Naples, so a specimen existed at one time with this determination label.
