ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1862d: 134.

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (very moldy) ( MZUF: Box 20): Megerlea Desv. / furnaria Rnd. / 1056 / lectotype ♂, Megerlea furnaria Rond., T. Pape det., 1986.

PARALECTOTYPE EXAMINED: 1 ♀ (missing left mid-leg) ( MZUF: Box 20): Megerlea Desv. / furnaria Rnd. / 1056 / lectotype.

REMARKS: Rondani (1862d: 134) described Megerlea furnaria as a variety of M. caminaria ( Meigen, 1826) without specifying the number , the sex or the length of the specimens. Pape (1988: 8) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotype (♀).
