Syndyas melanderi View in CoL nom. nov.

Lactistomyia polita Melander, 1928:26 View in CoL (occupied Syndyas polita Loew, 1861 View in CoL ); Smith, 1977:188 (catalogue).

The holotype of Lactistomyia polita Melander, 1928 View in CoL , only species of the genus referred outside of the Neotropical Region was examined. The study of the wing characters and legs revealed that is not congeneric with Lactistomyia View in CoL and it is being transferred to Syndyas Loew. View in CoL

The new combination, Syndyas polita ( Melander, 1928) , because of the transfer of this species for the genus Syndyas , resulted in a junior secondary homonym of Syndyas polita Loew, 1861 and in agreement with International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 2001) it should be rejected and replaced. Therefore, I propose the name Syndyas melanderi n. nov. in substitution to the Syndyas polita ( Melander, 1928) .

Distribution. Philippines (Luzon).

Type material: Holotype female ( USNM): “Mt. Makiling Luzon, Baker ”; “ Type Lactistomyia polita Mel. ”; “A. L. Melander Collection 1961”. Condition of the type: good, not dissected.
