cyanea Macquart, 1843 View in CoL , Curtonevra

Curtonevra cyanea Macquart, 1843: 157 ( 1844: 314) View in CoL , pl. 21, fig. 6. Lectotype ♂, “du Chili, Conception. MM. Dumont-Durville et Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from both sexes from Concepción in Chile, from material sent to MNHN by Gay and Dumont-Durville. There are 2 syntypes in MNHN, under no. 1863 of the Macquart collection. The ♂ has the accession no. 670.37, the number for a collection from Chile sent by Gay. It is rather mouldy ; right antenna and left wing missing. It is labelled by Macquart “N°. 78. / Curtonevra / cyanea.”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype. The ♀ has the data “Concept. / ( Chili) / Durv.” written on an accessions disc, and also the number “80”. It is also mouldy, and lacks left hind leg. I have labelled it as paralectotype .

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Both specimens are conspecific and belong to a good species of the genus Myospila Rondani, 1856 . Myospila cyanea ( Macquart, 1843) has been correctly interpreted by Snyder (1940: 6) and Lopes & Reis (1991: 187, figs 1, 4, 7, 10).
