Hylemyia dispar, Macquart, 1835

Pont, Adrian C., 2012, Muscoidea (Fanniidae, Anthomyiidae, Muscidae) described by P. J. M. Macquart (Insecta, Diptera), Zoosystema 34 (1), pp. 39-111 : 59

dispar Macquart, 1835 , Hylemyia

Hylemyia dispar Macquart, 1835: 317 . Unjustified replacement name for Zaphne hylemyoidea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “hylemyoide”).

MATERIAL. — As this is a replacement name for hylemyoidea , the types of hylemyoidea are also the types of dispar . However, most of Robineau-Desvoidy’s collection is known to have been destroyed ( Evenhuis et al. 2010: 233), and hylemyoidea is not present in the remnants in MNHN.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Bezzi & Stein (1907: 686), Hennig (1969a: 275) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 97) have tentatively synonymized Hylemyia dispar and Zaphne hylemyoidea with Zaphne divisa (Meigen, 1826) , and as there is nothing in Robineau-Desvoidy’s description to contradict these synonymies, they are formally confirmed herewith.
