The interpretation of some Conopidae (Diptera) described by Robineau­Desvoidy Stuke, Jens-Hermann Clements, David K. Zootaxa 2005 886 1 12 [276,525,828,854] Insecta Conopidae Zodion Animalia Diptera 9 10 Arthropoda species fuliginosum  The specimen bears the following labels: (1) "Z. / fuliginosum/ coll. Big." [round, white label]; (2) " Zodion/ fuliginosumR. D." [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a syntypeof  Zodion fuliginosum Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853: 156­157. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntypeof  Zodion fuliginosumit is herewith designated lectotypeand the following label has been added: " Lectotypus/  Zodion fuliginosum/ Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853/ des. Stuke & Clements, 2005" [red label, printed]. The synonomy with  Zodion cinereum(Fabricius, 1794)proposed by Chvála & Smith (1988)is supported.
