hirsutoculata Macquart, 1849 , Lucilia

Lucilia hirsutoculata Macquart, 1849: 486 , pl. 6, figs 4, 4a-4c. Lectotype ♂, “environs d’Alger, à Mustapha.” ( Algeria, Mustapha ), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described in Lucas’ (1849a, b) reports on Algerian insects, from an unspecified number of ♂♂, and the collector Lucas appended the following note on distribution to Macquart’s description: “C’est aux environs d’Alger, en mars, à Mustapha, que j’ai pris cette espèce, dont je n’ai rencontré que quelques individus”. Under no. 219 of the Macquart collection in MNHN, there is a single ♂ of this species. This has not been labelled by Macquart, but has a printed label with the data “Muséum Paris / Algérie / Coll. H. Lucas 78-49”. It also has an old green disc with “230” on the reverse. It has some mould, especially on head and legs, but is otherwise well preserved. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype. In box G.21 of the Macquart collection in MHNL, there is a label for Pyrellia hirsutoculata with the letter “L” (Lille), but there is no specimen. As the locality indicates, the specimen formerly here could hardly have been a syntype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name Lucilia hirsutoculata is a junior synonym of Dasyphora albofasciata ( Macquart, 1839) , as was formally established by Hennig (1963d: 947, 948). Stein (1919: 108) treated it as a good species of Dasyphora Robineau-Desvoidy,1830 , and so did Séguy (1937: 388) although, curiously, he included D. albofasciata as a junior synonym of D. hirsutoculata which he erroneously called D. hirsutomaculata ( Pont 1986b: 105) .
