Chorthophila pudica Rondani, 1866 View in CoL
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1866a: 161 (key), 173 (description).
TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Pedemontio [Piedmont ( Italy)]” .
TYPE MATERIAL: not found in this study.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Botanophila fugax ( Meigen, 1826) View in CoL ( Dely-Draskovits 1993: 25, Gorodkov et al. 1995: 5).
REMARKS: Rondani (1866a: 173) described Chorthophila pudica from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Foeminam non vidi . Mas tantum a me observatus in Pedemontio inventus ab eq. Truqui [I did not observe the female. I only observed the male from Piedmont, found by Mr. Truqui]”. We were unable to locate any type material of this nominal species in our study. Hennig (1970a: 370) reported one male from Parma and two females in the MZUF and incorrectly considered them as belonging to the type series. We do not consider the single male from “ Parma ” that we found in the MZUF to be a type because it is not from the type locality. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name Chorthophila , which is an “unjustified emendation of Chortophila Macquart, 1835 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 57).
