Bibio ungeri Heer, 1849: 218 View in CoL . ( Figs. 18 View FIGURE 18 , 38 View FIGURES 36–38. 36 )

Bibio lignarius Germar, 1837 sensu Unger, 1842 View in CoL , pro parte

This species is not a bibionid, the type (SLJG, no catalogue number) is a brachyceran, possibly Xylophagidae View in CoL . This was commented on already by Heer (1849: 218) who nevertheless placed the species in genus Bibio View in CoL based on the wing venation. This is not at all clear in the holotype but there appears to be closed discal and anal cells in the wing. From the specimen label it is clear that Unger did not intend to describe the specimen as a new species, but (mis)identified it as Bibio lignarius Germar. Both View in CoL head and legs are missing in the type specimen, and the wing venation is very difficult to interpret, so this species is likely to remain a nomen dubium.
