testacea Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Caenosia

Caenosia testacea Macquart, 1835: 348 View in CoL (junior primary homonym of Coenosia testacea Gimmerthal, 1834 View in CoL ). Syntype (s) ♂ (♂), “je l’ai reçue de Bordeaux” ( France, Bordeaux), not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. No syntypes have been located.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Bezzi & Stein (1907: 743) and Hennig (1962a: 619) both listed this as an unrecognized species of Coenosia Meigen, 1826 . I cannot identify it positively either, but think that it is most likely the common and variable Coenosia testacea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) ( Pont 1986b: 212) . Since it is both a junior primary homonym and a junior secondary homonym in Coenosia , its actual identity is only a formality.
