quinquemaculata Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Spigolaster [sic]

Spigolaster [sic] quinquemaculata Macquart, 1835: 294 . Syntype (s) ♀ (♀), “je l’ai reçue de Bordeaux” ( France, Bordeaux),not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♀♀. No syntypes have been located.

In MNHN, under no. 232 of the Macquart collection, there are 2 ♂♂ and 2 ♀♀ from Algeria that Macquart identified as S. quinquemaculata for Lucas (see Macquart 1849: 490).

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name has been treated as a junior synonym of Helina clara (Meigen, 1826) in the standard works ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 637; Hennig 1957: 169; Pont 1986b:139), and there is no reason for disputing the synonymy with this very characteristic species. The Algerian specimens in MNHN are Helina clara .
