Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard 1852: 455. Chile. Santa Rosa. LT 3 ( Fig. 10), MNHN, designated herein. Steyskal, 1968: 23(catalog, as unplaced species, but noting likely synonymy with Acrometopia australis). Toropamecia grossa Cogan 1978: 234, syn. nov. Chile. Chiloe: IslaChiloe, Dalcahue. HT 3 ( Fig. 11), CNC. Lectotypedesignation. Due to the importance of male genitalia in identifying Chamaemyiidae, and the poor condition of one of the two male syntypes, to avoid future confusion and to fix the identity of the typespecies for this genus, a lectotypeis hereby designated. I choose the syntypemale (mounted on left side on clear card; fair condition, slightly crushed but with little actual damage or loss of setae, right antennal pedicel and 1st flagellomere missing; pictured in Fig. 10) with the following labels as the lectotypefor Ortalidina cellularis: “MUSEUM PARIS, CHILI, GAY 15-43” / “15, 43” (handwritten, on small circular label with green underside) / “ cellularis Blanch.” (handwritten) / “ Syntype3 Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard” (handwritten, red label) / “ LECTOTYPUS3 Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard, des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label). The two paralectotypesbear the same first two labels as the lectotype, but lack the handwritten “ cellularis Blanch.” label; the male has the following two labels – “ Syntype3 Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard” (handwritten, red label) / “ PARALECTOTYPUS3 Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard, des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label); the female has the following two labels – “ SyntypeƤ Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard” (handwritten, red label) / “ PARALECTOTYPUSƤ Ortalidina cellularisBlanchard, des. S.D. Gaimari, 2012” (red label). The lectotypeand paralectotypesare deposited in MNHN.
