punctata Macquart, 1835 , Aricia

Aricia punctata Macquart, 1835: 288 . Unjustified replacement name for Phaonia aricioidea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL (as “ aricioides ”).

MATERIAL. — As this is a replacement name, the types of Phaonia aricioidea are also the types of punctata , but Robineau-Desvoidy’s collection has been almost entirely destroyed ( Evenhuis et al. 2010: 233). There is a ♂ in MNHN labelled by Macquart “281. bis” and “ Aricia / punctata”.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Bezzi & Stein (1907: 624) listed A. aricioidea as a doubtful synonym of Phaonia signata (Meigen, 1826) (now correctly called Phaonia tuguriorum (Scopoli, 1763)) , but included A. punctata as an unrecognized species of Phaonia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 622). Hennig (1963c: 870) gave both names as doubtful synonyms of Phaonia signata . I can see no reason for disputing this synonymy, and have accepted it ( Pont 1986b: 132). The ♂ in MNHN is Phaonia tuguriorum .
