Campylomyza aeratipennis SKUSE, 1888 View in CoL :

The holotype is labelled “Campy: aeratipennis  TYPE. F. A. A. Skuse” and “Eliz: Bay. Dec 87. M”. Preserved are the head with 7 flagellomeres of one of the antennae, the thorax and the abdomen. The antennal structure is typical for a Peromyia . The nodes of the antennal flagellomeres are bicolored, the basal halves darker than the apical halves ( JASCHHOF 1998 : fig. 219h). Two sclerotized, disk-shaped spermathecae are present (l. c.: fig. 219i). These characters in combination are typical of Peromyia muscorum (KIEFFER,, 1895). I have no doubt that Peromyia aeratipennis (SKUSE) and Peromyia muscorum (KIEFFER)) are identical, so the former name becomes valid for this common, widespread species. The species is apparently widely distributed on the Australian continent as is indicated by specimens I have seen from Queensland (unpubl.). As shown below Peromyia aeratipennisaeratipennis occurs also in Tasmania.
