Domomyza brevinervis Rondani, 1875 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1875b: 174 (key), 176 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro parmensi [ Parmese territory ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype ( MZUF: Box 35): Domomyza Rnd. / brevinervis Rndn. / 1869 / holotype / Domomyza brevinervis, K.A. Spencer det., 1986 = nana Mg.

CURRENT STATUS: nomen dubium View in CoL in Agromyzidae ( Papp 1984b: 341) View in CoL ; junior synonym of Agromyza nana Meigen, 1830 View in CoL ( Spencer & Martinez 1987: 260). The type species of the genus Domomyza ( Domomyza cincta ) belongs to Drosophilidae View in CoL , not Agromyzidae View in CoL (see note on this nominal species, p. 108).

REMARKS: Rondani (1875b: 176) described Domomyza brevinervis without specifying either the number or the sex of the specimens, but giving a single measurement of length. Kenneth A. Spencer examined the MZUF material in 1986 and labeled the single male as “ holotype ” but, as far as we know, he never indicated this specimen as holotype in any of his publication. We consider it as a syntype because Rondani did not specify he had a single specimen.
