28FB221F18205D3F94C5DC51D7B813F2.taxon	discussion	Notes on type. The type series is covered by fungal hyphae and dust. Lectotype with left wing slightly damaged along cells c, sc, and r 1, abdomen removed for dissection. Paralectotype males: 1732: left postpedicel missing; 1738: left midleg missing. Paralectotype females: 1730: left postpedicel missing and abdomen removed for dissection; 1733: right wing, left foretarsus, and right foreleg missing, left hindtarsus damaged; 1734: left postpedicel and right hindleg missing; 1737: left hindleg and right hindtarsomeres 2 – 5 missing; 1739: right midleg missing. Remarks. Schiner (1868) described the species based on three males and eight females and referred to the type locality as “ South America ”. The type series is composed of 11 specimens, 10 of them from “ Venezuela Lindig ”, and one male from “ Chili Alte Sammlung ”. This might explain why Schiner probably referred to the type locality as “ South America ”. There is one additional female (NHMW 1740), which was probably not part of the original syntype series bearing a small green squared label and a diamond-shaped label “ Wthm ” and a third label with the species name handwritten, denoting that it was added posteriorly. Additionally, Lindig only collected in the surroundings of Bogota (Colombia), with “ Venezuela ” most probably being the result of mislabeling. Anthomyia lindigii has been found exclusively in highlands of the Andean Region from 2,900 to 4,108 m (Gomes et al. 2025).	en	Gomes, Lucas Roberto Pereira, de Carvalho, Claudio José Barros, Camargo, Alexssandro (2026): Notes and redescriptions of Anthomyia lindigii Schiner, 1868 and Anthomyia punctipennis Wiedemann, 1830, including revised synonymy of Anthomyia diversa Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera, Anthomyiidae).

C57D8918A5555790BBF7712B4C931260.taxon	discussion	Notes on type. The female lectotype is in good condition, except for the dorsal part of the thorax, broken by the pin; the right midleg and the right hindtarsi are missing. Remarks. Anthomyia punctipennis was originally described based on an unspecified number of females from Montevideo (Uruguay). Stein (1904: 480) examined and provided notes on a female type specimen housed in the NHMW. Subsequently, Michelsen (1997) did not find any type material in either the NHMW or the ZMHU and therefore treated the female type as lost, recommending the designation of a neotype from Montevideo province. The specimen designated here as the lectotype is certainly the one examined by Stein (1904). It is difficult to know why this specimen was not located after Stein’s revision. The collection has been rearranged after that, and it could have been accidentally mixed elsewhere and therefore temporarily “ lost ”. Another reason could be the fact that the locality informed on the labels differs from that provided by Wiedemann in the original description, leading authors to be insecure in considering the specimen as the type due to the missmatched locality. Incongruences between the localities written on the labels of the types and the localities mentioned in the descriptions by Wiedemann are quite common. Despite this single discrepancy, everything else corroborates this specimen as the type. It agrees with the original description and with the notes provided by Stein (1904) and is a female specimen as specified in the original description. In addition, Brauer (1880) commented that the originals of Wiedemann are represented by a small piece of red paper without writing on it (see Fig. 5 F), followed by rectangular labels with the handwritings of Winthem (probably the case here for the locality and species name labels) and Wiedemann. The same author also noted that most of the Wiedemann types are to be found amongst the so called Winthem collection rather than among the Wiedemann collection itself. Therefore, this specimen is herein designated as the lectotype. The same situation happens with the types of Anthomyia diversa Wiedemann, 1830 (see the nomenclatural note below). The two males (also studied by Stein) are present in the collection, one bearing the same locality label as the female of A. punctipennis (i. e.: Buenos Aires), instead of Montevideo, as informed in the original description. These specimens were probably collected by Sellow or Bescke during their trips to Uruguay and nearby regions (both of whom collected in Buenos Aires) and then sent to Winthem or to the Berlin Museum and later studied by Wiedemann (Papavero, 1971), thus indicating that the locality mentioned in the original descriptions could be the result of a lapsus calami of Wiedemann. Anthomyia punctipennis has a wide distribution and presents morphological variation in wing spot pattern and body colouration. We are probably dealing with a complex of two or more species, and further morphological and molecular studies are necessary to better define the limits of this species (Michelsen 1997; Gomes et al. 2025). Gomes et al. (2025) examined a large number of specimens from different regions of South America and documented some morphological variations: vein dm-m straight or curved; dm-m spots forming a single spot covering the entire vein or divided into two spots at the corners; legs yellow, light brown, or dark brown; inconspicuous spot at the base of M 1 present or absent; and wing spots conspicuous or inconspicuous. The female lectotype has a straight dm-m vein with a single spot completely covering the vein (larger at the upper corner), dark brown legs, an inconspicuous spot at the base of vein M 1, and conspicuous wing spots. In the present study, the female type specimen is rediscovered, redescribed, and images and morphological comments are provided; essential information for futures studies aimed at clarifying this species complex.	en	Gomes, Lucas Roberto Pereira, de Carvalho, Claudio José Barros, Camargo, Alexssandro (2026): Notes and redescriptions of Anthomyia lindigii Schiner, 1868 and Anthomyia punctipennis Wiedemann, 1830, including revised synonymy of Anthomyia diversa Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera, Anthomyiidae).
