Treatment

caesia Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Hydrophoria

Hydrophoria caesia Macquart, 1835:298 . Syntype (s) ♂ (♂), “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area), not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. No syntypes have been located.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name has been synonymized with Hydrophoria conica (Wiedemann, 1817) (now correctly called Hydrophoria lancifer (Harris, 1780)) by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 685), Hennig (1969a: 272) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 61), and I can see no reason for not accepting this synonymy.

Hydrophoria caesia was given the replacement name Hylemyia (sic) nigricans by Meigen (1838: 321) because he considered caesia to belong to the genus Hylemya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL , and to be a junior homonym of Hylemyia caesia Macquart, 1835 (the next species).
