Yetodesia stolata Rondani, 1866

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1866a: 96 (key), 106 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: Fallén (1825: 89) gave no locality in his redescription of Musca pallida Fabricius, 1787 , but presumably it is Sweden because the work deals with Swedish species; “ per Sueciam meridionalem & mediam …; in Scaniae … ad Räften, Abusa, Grönby, Lemmeströ-skog prope Börrige (D. Sjörèn), Esperöd; in Ostrogothia ad Gusum, D. Wahlberg; ad Lärketorp, … in Ölandia ad Ottenby; in Calmaria ad … Ishult; in Dania ad Dyrhaven propet Hafniam plures mares legit D. Dahlbom [south and central Sweden …; Scania …in Räften, Abusa, Grönby, Lemmeströ wood near Börringe (D. Sjörèn), Äsperöd; Östergötland in Gusum, D.

Dahlbom collected many males in Denmark in Dyrehaven near Copenhagen]” (Zetterstedt 1846: 1742) [localities for Anthomyza populi ( Meigen, 1826) sensu Zetterstedt (1846) ]; “ in Apennino parmensi … specimina danica … germanica [Parmese Apennines ( Italy) … Denmark … Germany]” ( Rondani 1866a: 106) [type locality for Yetodesia stolata Rondani, 1866 ].

Anthomyza Zett. / Dyrehaven Hafniae [= Copenhagen], Jul. 44 Db [= Dahlbom] / Type no. 6682:5; 1 ♂, syntype ( NHRS: Box 33:18): pallida / M. pallida Fab. , ♂; 1 ♀, syntype ( NHRS: Box 33:18): pallida / M. pallida Fab. , ♀; 1 ♂, syntype (missing left wing) ( NHRS: Box 33:18): pallida ; 3 ♀♀, syntypes ( NHRS: Box 33:18): pallida .

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Phaonia rufiventris ( Scopoli, 1763) ( Pont 1986b: 129, Gorodkov et al. 1995: 13).

REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 106) proposed Yetodesia stolata for Musca pallida Fabricius, 1787 sensu Fallén (1825: 89) and for Anthomyza populi ( Meigen, 1826) sensu Zetterstedt (1846: 1742) , which he considered a new species. Rondani referred to Fallén’s redescription of Musca pallida , Zetterstedt’s redescription of Anthomyza populi , which were based on an unspecified number of specimens, and to an unspecified number of specimens received from E. Bertè, R.C. Staeger and C.L.F. von Roser. Therefore, the type material is in the collections of Fallén (NHRS), Zetterstedt (MZLU) and Rondani (MZUF). We found 15 syntypes in this study. The MZLU male labeled “87 / Staeg. [= Staeger]” is not included in the type series because J.W. Zetterstedt did not mention R.C. Staeger as collector of Anthomyza populi ’s specimens in his collection.
