family
This family of Calyptratae contains about 200 species predominantly from Europe and Africa ( Cerretti et al. 2014, 2020, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Rondani (1856, 1861e, 1862d, 1865 c, 1868a) described 15 Palaearctic nominal species in his “ Stirps Dexina” and “ Stirps Tachinina”. Six nominal species are currently considered as valid and nine as junior synonyms (Herting 1993, Pape 1989, Pape et al.1995, Peris & González-Mora 2007). Pape (1989)examined the type material in the MZUF and designated a lectotypefor Cirillia angustifrons Rondani, 1856, Morinia celerRondani, 1862, Oplisa mendicaRondani, 1862, Phyto adolescensRondani, 1861, Ptilocheta passeriniiRondani, 1862, Stevenia parmensisRondani, 1861, Tromodesia vibripennis Rondani, 1856. Here, we designate a lectotypefor Stevenia florentinaRondani, 1861. The family Rhinophoridaewas proposed by Robineau-Desvoidy (1863). The type material for all nominal species has been recovered and is distributed among the MZUF (15), MSNC (three), OUMNH (two) and MSNPV (one).
