Morge (1962b: 436) designated a lectotype (♂) but did not mention an additional male and female in the MZUF (both of these additional specimens are paralectotypes). The MZUF specimens of Leucopis aphidiperda and Leucopis aphidivora are both numbered “1812”.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 pages 84-85, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
