Eumerus exilipes Rondani 1850

Eumerus exilipes Rondani, 1850 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1850a: 119 (key), 121 (description). TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Italia centrali [central Italy]”. TYPE MATERIAL: 5 ♂♂, syntypes (MZUF: Box 4): Eumerus Mgn / argyropus Lw. exilipes Rnd., ♂ / 127; 3 ♀♀, syntypes (MZUF: Box 4): Eumerus Mgn / argyropus Lw. exilipes Rnd., ♀ / 127. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Eumerus argyropus (Loew, 1848) (Peck 1988: 154, Belcari et al. 1995a: 14). REMARKS: Rondani (1850a: 121) described both sexes of Eumerus exilipes without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths, but presumably from more than one specimen because he reported: “ non rarus [not rare]”. We found eight syntypes in this study.Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 249, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
