Phytomyza cicerina Rondani, 1874 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1874c: 130. TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but later (1875b: 184) added " in agro parmensi [Parmese territory (Italy)]". TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♂♂, syntypes (glued to the same cardboard) (MZUF: Box 35): Agromyza Fall. / cicerina Rnd. / 1859 / lectotype [not designated] ♂, K.A.S., 17.II.[19]64; 2 ♂♂, syntypes (glued to the same cardboard), 2 ♀♀, syntypes (each glued to a cardboard), 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, glued to a cardboard) (MZUF: Box 35): Agromyza Fall. / cicerina Rnd. / 1859. CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Liriomyza cicerina (Papp 1984b: 297, Spencer & Martinez 1987: 259, Canzoneri et al. 1995: 11). REMARKS: Rondani (1874c: 130) listed Phytomyza cicerina without providing any description, reporting only that the larvae live inside leaves on Cicer arietinum Linnaeus, 1753 and cause the death of the plant. In this way Rondani described the work of Phytomyza cicerina and therefore the name is available (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 12.2.8 and 23.3.2.3). Rondani (1875b: 184) then described Phytomyza cicerina under the generic name Agromyza Fallén, 1810, without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being seven specimens in the type series found in this study. Kenneth A. Spencer (Spencer & Martinez 1987: 254) examined the MZUF type material in 1964, adding the label " lectotype " under two males glued to the same cardboard, but without, as far as we know, publishing this lectotype designation (Spencer 1973, 1976, 1990). We are not able to single out the male considered as lectotype by K.A. Spencer and we leave the designation of a lectotype to a future specialist. We found seven syntypes in the MZUF. : 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 33, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621 : {"references": ["Papp, L.
