nigra Macquart, 1851 View in CoL , Stomoxys

Stomoxys nigra Macquart, 1851b: 212 ( 1851d: 239) , pl. 22, figs 5, 5a. Lectotype ♀, “Île Bourbon. M. Bigot” ( La Réunion), by designation of Pont (1990: 167), in BMNH.

MATERIAL. — Described from the ♀ sex, from Bigot’s collection. 2 ♀♀ syntypes were located in that part of this collection now in the BMNH; they were also seen by Brauer (1899: 516). They are without data, but one is labelled by Macquart “ Stomoxys / nigra / ♀. Macq. n. sp.” and they stand over Bigot’s drawer label “ S. nigra . ♂. / Ins. Borbon. Macq.”. Neither is in particularly good condition, but the one with Macquart’s determination label is slightly better and this was designated as lectotype ( Pont 1990: 167). It is rather damp and dirty, with right foretarsomeres 2-5 missing. The 2nd ♀ was labelled as paralectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Stomoxys nigra is a good species of the genus Stomoxys Geoffroy, 1762 ( Zumpt 1973: 112) . Stomoxys is actually masculine in gender ( Steyskal 1975: 163) and so the correct combination is Stomoxys niger Macquart, 1851 .
