caesia Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Chortophila

Chortophila caesia Macquart, 1835: 325 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. — The name has been listed as an unrecognized species of Anthomyiidae by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 712), Hennig (1976: 921) and Dely- Draskovits (1993: 99). The slightly projecting facial edge and the cinereous body-colour suggest that Macquart’s species is the same as Delia platura (Meigen, 1826) , and the name Chortophila caesia is herewith formally synonymized with Delia platura (Meigen, 1826) (n. syn.)
