trigonomaculata Macquart, 1851 , Anthomyia

Anthomyia trigonomaculata Macquart, 1851b: 239 ( 1851d: 266) . Lectotype ♂, “de l’Égypte. M. Bigot.” ( Egypt), by present designation, in OUMNH.

MATERIAL. — There is 1 ♂ syntype from the Bigot collection in OUMNH. It is in good condition, with just a few tarsomeres missing.It is labelled by Macquart “ Anthomyia / trigono-maculata / ♂. Macq. n. sp.” and stands over a Bigot drawer label “A. trigono-maculata. ♂. / Egyptus. Macq.”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Stein (1907b: 289) studied this ♂ and identified it as Chortophila (now Adia ) cinerella (Fallén, 1825) , and this synonymy has been followed by Hennig (1967b: 162) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 14). It has been checked and confirmed by D. M. Ackland, according to his label in the collection.
