Treatment

virescens Macquart, 1843 View in CoL , Ophyra

Ophyra virescens Macquart, 1843: 164 ( 1844: 321) View in CoL . Lectotype ♀, “de Guaratuba, Brésil. Muséum.” ( Brazil, Parana state, Guaratuba), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — The unique ♀ syntype is under no. 1873 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. It is in rather poor condition: mouldy, with body and head rubbed. It has a white disc with the data “Guaratuba / ouest. mars / 1820” ; a hand-written tag with “303.bis”; and Macquart’s label “ Ophyra / virescens”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Ophyra virescens is a junior synonym of Hydrotaea (formerly Ophyra ) aenescens

(Wiedemann, 1830) as currently understood, as stated by Pont (1972: 13) and Carvalho et al. (1993: 46; 2005: 47).
