dasyops Macquart, 1843 , Chortophila

Chortophila dasyops Macquart, 1843: 169 ( 1844: 326) View in CoL , pl. 23 (not 22, as stated), figs 1, 1a. Lectotype ♂, “des îles Malouines. Muséum.” ( Falkland Islands), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — There is 1 ♂ under no. 1879 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. It has a disc with the locality “Malouines”, and Macquart’s label “N°. 87. / Chortophila / dasyops.”. The right mid leg and both hind legs are missing, but otherwise the condition is good. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Chortophila dasyops is a good species in the genus Helina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ( Carvalho et al. 2005: 112). It was redescribed by Malloch (1928: 472).
