angusta Macquart, 1835 , Chortophila

Chortophilaangusta Macquart, 1835:327. Syntype (s) ♂ (♂), “Du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area), not in MNHN or MNHL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. Macquart (1850c:535, under Anthomyia ) recorded this species as present in the MHNL collection. No syntypes have been located. The name is a “sp. incert. sed.” in the standard works ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 711, Chortophila ; Séguy 1937: 75, Hylemyia ; Hennig 1974c: 920; Dely-Draskovits 1993: 99).

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Macquart’s meagre description fits Botanophila striolata (Fallén, 1824) very well, and his name is herewith formally synonymized with Botanophila striolata (n. syn.).
