Mycetophila (Oromyceta) Lane View in CoL

Mycetophila View in CoL , subgen. Oromyceta Lane 1955: 395. Type-species, M. javaesi Lane View in CoL (orig. des.).

M. javaesi Lane 1955: 397 View in CoL , fig. 4 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 302 View FIGURES 292–304 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, a female allotype, seventeen male and fourteen female paratypes, of which the holotype, eleven male and ten female paratypes (allotype ♀, 4068) are at the NHM. The paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 256955-76. The holotype is perfect and the terminalia has not been dissected, so the gonostyle illustrated in the original description must have come from a paratype. The holotype labels are: “ Brasilien / Nova Teutonia / 27º 11’ S 52º 23’ W / Fritz Plaumann / 16.6.1938.” // “Brit Mus / 1938-658” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ Mycetophila / javaesi [hw] / det. John Lane 196[pr]7[hw]” // “ HOLOTYPE ♂ of / Mycetophila / (Oromyceta) / javaesi [hw] Lane 1951 / det. N.P. Wyatt, 2002 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) # / 256954” GoogleMaps .
