Acerocnema macrocera ( Meigen, 1826) View in CoL

Cordylura macrocera Meigen, 1826: 241 View in CoL .? SYNTYPES: Type locality not given; no additional data quoted in the original paper except: ‘In dem Wiedemannische Museum [= in Wiedemann’s Museum]’ (current depository unknown).

Note. The original paper stated: ‘25. Cord. macrocera View in CoL . Wied. [= Wiedemann]’, but the text of the original description does not confirm Wiedemann’s authorship. I therefore accept Meigen as the single author of the description (see ICZN 1999: Article 50).

Cordylura latipalpis Meigen, 1826: 241 View in CoL .? SYNTYPES: Type locality not given; no additional data quoted in the original paper except: ‘In dem Wiedemannische Museum [= in Wiedemann’s Museum]’ (current depository unknown).

Note. The original paper stated: ‘ 26. Cord. latipalpis View in CoL . Wied. [= Wiedemann]’, but the text of the original description does not confirm Wiedemann’s authorship. I therefore accept Meigen as the single author of the description (see ICZN 1999: Article 50). Synonymized by BECKER (1905: 17).

Cordylura fulvipes Meigen, 1838: 341 View in CoL . HOLOTYPE: ♀, ‘Weib. [= female]’, type locality not given; no additional data quoted in the original paper except: ‘Von Hrn. Wiedemann [= from Mr. Wiedemann]’ (depository unknown). Synonymized by BECKER (1905: 17).

Cordylura breviseta Zetterstedt, 1846: 2022 View in CoL . HOLOTYPE: ♀, ‘Dania, circa Hafniam [= Denmark, environs of Copenhagen]’ (probably MZLU). Synonymized by BECKER (1905: 17).

Clidogastra breviseta Mik, 1887: 186 . HOLOTYPE: ♀, Austria, ‘bei Villach in Kärnten [= Carinthia, environs of Villach], Tief leg.’ (depository unknown). Synonymized by BECKER (1894: 155) and SÉGUY (1952: 67).

Acerocnema pokornyi Becker, 1894: 157 View in CoL . SYNTYPES: J ♀, type locality not given (ZMHB). Synonymized by ŠIFNER (2003a: 47).

Acerocnema obscuripes Becker, 1915: 64 View in CoL , syn. nov. HOLOTYPE: J, Russia, West Siberia , 12.vii.[1909], ‘aus der Tundra des Fl. Kara [= from the tundra of the Kara river]’ (ZMHB).

Note. All characters of A. obscuripes View in CoL are within the limits of the variability of A. macrocera View in CoL . Therefore, I suggest A. obscuripes View in CoL as a junior synonym of A. macrocera View in CoL .
