viridifrons Macquart, 1851 View in CoL , Pyrellia
Pyrellia viridifrons Macquart, 1851b: 224 ( 1851d: 251) View in CoL , pl. 23, fig. 6 (junior secondary homonym in Neomyia Walker, 1859 View in CoL , of Lucilia viridifrons Macquart, 1843 ). Lectotype ♀, “ Nouvelle-Hollande, côte orientale. Muséum.” ( Australia, east coast), by designation of Pont (1973b: 198), in MNHN.
MATERIAL. — There is 1 ♀ syntype in MNHN, under no. 2388 of the Macquart collection. It is very immature, and much of the scutum has been eaten away. The labels include a pink disc with the accession no. 2.47 ( Australia, collector Verreaux), and Macquart’s label “ Pyrellia / viridifrons / ♀. Macq. n. sp.”. In my revision of Australian Muscinae, I referred to it as the holotype, and this statement must be interpreted as lectotype designation by inference.
CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name Pyrellia viridifrons is a junior synonym of Neomyia timorensis (Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830) ( Pont 1973b: 198). In the genus Neomyia Walker, 1859 , it is a junior secondary homonym of Lucilia viridifrons Macquart, 1843 (the preceding species in the present paper), and for this reason was given the replacement name of Orthellia macquarti by Séguy (1941: 122).
