Anthomyia brunnipennis Macquart, 1835: 337 View in CoL . Syntype (s) ♂ (♂), “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area), not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

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

In the Collection générale in MNHN, I found a pin with the specimen destroyed, labelled by Macquart “ Anthomyia / brunnipennis”, and also “328.” and “20 juillet”. This may well have been one of his syntypes. There is also a specimen labelled by Macquart “brunnipennis” and “300”. This does not agree with the original description, and is a ♂ of Mydaea affinis Meade, 1891 .

CURRENT IDENTITY. — This has been listed as an unrecognized species of Anthomyiidae Latreille, 1829 , by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 712, Chortophila ), Hennig (1976: 921) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 99). The description fits very well the dark-bodied and rather dark-winged Pegoplata aestiva (Meigen, 1826) , and Macquart’s name is herewith formally synonymized with Pegoplata aestiva (n. syn.).
