Treatment

discoidea Macquart, 1835 , Aricia

Aricia discoidea Macquart, 1835: 292 . 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 treated as a synonym of Phaonia variegata (Meigen, 1826) (now called Phaonia subventa (Harris, 1780)) in the standard works ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 625; and Hennig 1963c: 888, both with some doubt; Pont 1986b: 130). Macquart’s description fits this species very well, and there seems no reason for doubting this synonymy.
