Musca minor Macquart, 1851b: 226 ( 1851d: 253) (junior primary homonym of Musca minor Harris, 1780 ). Lectotype ♂, “ Tasmanie. Muséum.” ( Australia, Tasmania), by designation of Pont (1967: 188), in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — The lectotype is under no. 2390 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. It is in excellent condition. The lectotype and the 6 ♂♂ and 9 ♀♀ paralectotypes (6 ♂♂ and 8 ♀♀ in MNHN, 1 ♀ in BMNH) all have the registration no. 13.44 (Tasmania, collector Verreaux). I excluded a further ♀ with the accession no. 3.47 (also Tasmania, collector Verreaux) from the type-series.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Musca minor is a junior synonym of Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 , a synonymy first established by Patton (1923a: 315; see also Pont 1967: 188; 1973b: 169).
