rufipes Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Atomogaster

Atomogaster rufipes Macquart, 1835: 330 View in CoL . 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.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Bezzi & Stein (1907: 742) and Hennig (1962a: 619) have listed this as an unrecognized species of Coenosia Meigen, 1826 . This generic assignment seems correct and, so far as can be deduced from the diagnostic characters given by Macquart (frontal vitta dark, pale near base; legs yellow, with dark forefemur and tarsomeres), A. rufipes is conspecific with Coenosia testacea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) , a synonymy that I have established ( Pont 1986b: 212).
