Tabanus lateritius Rondani, 1863 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1863: 80.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ De la Caroline [Carolina (North America)]” ( Macquart 1847: 39) [type locality for Tabanus unicolor Macquart, 1847 ].

TYPE MATERIAL: see Remarks.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Tabanus rufofrater Walker, 1850 ( Philip 1950: 314, Philip 1965b: 336).

REMARKS: Wiedemann (1828: 141) and Macquart (1847: 38) described two different species under the same name, Tabanus unicolor . Consequently, Rondani (1863: 80) proposed the new replacement name Tabanus lateritius for Tabanus unicolor Macquart, 1847 , incorrectly attributing the species described by Wiedemann to Meigen. Philip (1965a: 122) incorrectly considered this nominal species as a nomen nudum. The type material for Tabanus lateritius will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e., Tabanus unicolor . There is no type of this latter species in the MHNL (O. Boilly, pers. comm., 2019), MNHN (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020) and OUMNH (Z. Simmons, pers. comm., 2019) where Macquart’s collection is preserved.
