tasmaniae Macquart, 1846 View in CoL , Pyrellia
Pyrellia tasmaniae Macquart, 1846a: 327 ( 1846b: 199) View in CoL , pl. 17, fig. 7. Lectotype ♂, “de la Tasmanie. Muséum.” ( Australia, Tasmania), by designation of Pont (1973b: 212), in MNHN.
MATERIAL. — The type series, ♂ lectotype and 1 ♂ and 5 ♀♀ paralectotypes, is under no. 2389 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. Each specimen has the accession no. 13.44 (Tasmania, collector Verreaux). My statement ( Pont 1973b: 213) that one of them was labelled 18.44 must be a mis-reading of 13.44, since the number 18.44 does not exist in the MNHN register of accessions. 1 ♂ and 2 ♀♀ with accession nos 1.46, 2.47 and 3.47 were regarded as non-typical as they were acquired after publication of Macquart’s description (all collected by Verreaux, east coast of Australia and Tasmania). The lectotype lacks the right mid leg, but is otherwise in good condition. It is labelled by Macquart “ Pyrellia / tasmaniae / ♀. Macq. 1 e. Supp.”.
CURRENT IDENTITY. — Pyrellia tasmaniae Macquart, 1846 , is a good species of Pyrellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , and has been redescribed by Pont (1973b: 212- 214).
