Stratiomys sericeiventris Rondani, 1848 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 102.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani 1848b: 63); [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, dirty, covered with mold) ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Stratiomidei - Gen. Philocera a Psellidotus ): Stratiomys sericeiventris Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 10967; 1 ♀, syntype (missing right wing) ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Stratiomidei - Gen. Philocera a Psellidotus ): ♀.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Hoplitimyia mutabilis ( Fabricius, 1787) View in CoL ( James 1973: 42, Woodley 2001: 266).

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 102) described Stratiomys sericeiventris from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being two specimens in the type series found in this study, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Costa (1864: 87, 1866: 38) listed two MZUN specimens, one numbered “2601” and one “880”. We also found two syntypes in this study. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
