Treatment

obscuripennis Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Hydrotaea

Hydrotaea obscuripennis Macquart, 1835: 304 View in CoL . Lectotype ♂, “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area ), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. No material was found in MHNL, though Stein (1903: 294) wrote that a syntype for study from MHNL was sent to him. There is 1 ♂ syntype in MNHN. It is rather mouldy and damaged, with left mid leg missing. It is labelled by Macquart “302. bis” and “obscuripennis”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name is treated as a junior synonym of Hydrotaea dentipes (Fabricius, 1805) in

the standard works ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 651; Hennig 1962c: 720; Pont 1986b: 77), and this synonymy has been confirmed from the lectotype.
