Anthomyia desjardinsii Macquart, 1843: 171 ( 1844: 328) , pl. 23, fig. 5. Lectotype ♂, “de l’île de France. M. Desjardins. Muséum.” ( Mauritius), by designation of Albuquerque (1950c: 5), in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from the ♂ sex, and there are 3 ♂♂ syntypes in the Macquart collection in MNHN, under no. 995. They were redescribed by Albuquerque (1950c: 4, 5, figs 11-15), who also designated a lectotype and two paralectotypes. The lectotype lacks the left foreleg and both mid legs, but is otherwise in good condition. It has an old label “Île de Fr. / Desjardins”, and has been labelled by Macquart “N°. 90 / Anthomyia / desjardinsii”.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — All three are conspecific, and the name Anthomyia desjardinsii is a junior synonym of Gymnodia gentilis (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) , as defined by Emden (1951: 470, 473) (see Pont 1980: 733).
