Treatment

chilensis Macquart, 1851 View in CoL , Chortophila

Chortophila chilensis Macquart, 1851b: 238 ( 1851d: 265) View in CoL , pl. 24, figs 9, 9a. Syntype ♀, “ Chili. Coquimbo. M. Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile, Coquimbo), formerly in MNHN, now destroyed.

MATERIAL. — This is another species described from Chilean material sent to MNHN by Gay. The only

known syntype has been destroyed: in the Macquart collection in MNHN under no. 1881, there is a pin with labels but the specimen itself is no longer there. The labels comprise the locality “ Coquimbo ”, the accession no. 15.43 ( Chile, collector Gay), and Macquart’s label “ Chortophila / chilensis / ♀. Macq. n. sp.”.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Macquart’s brief description gives sufficient detail (e.g., “pieds noirs, à jambes brunes”) for this to be recognized as a clear-winged species of Anthomyia Meigen, 1803 ( Pont 1974a: 3, under Craspedochaeta [sic] Macquart, 1851) rather than a species of Delia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .
