brunnipennis Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Hydrotaea

Hydrotaea brunnipennis Macquart, 1835: 304 View in CoL . Lectotype ♂, “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area ), by present designation, in MHNL.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. Macquart (1850c: 533) recorded this species as present in the MHNL collection. One syntype has been located, in box F of the Macquart collection in MHNL. It was studied by Stein (1903: 294), and seen but not studied by Hennig (1962c: 720, 1964c: 1080). It has no data, but the drawer label reads “H. / brunnipennis / Macq. Lille”. It is rather damp; left foretarsomeres 3-5, right mid leg and right hind leg missing. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

There is 1 ♂ in OUMNH, which is labelled by Macquart “ Hydrotaea / brunnipennis / Macq. M”. I have labelled this as paralectotype. It is in poor condition, very mouldy and with left foretibia + tarsus missing.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The name brunnipennis is usually treated as a junior synonym of Hydrotaea dentipes (Fabricius, 1805) (e.g., Bezzi & Stein 1907: 651; Hennig 1962c: 720), and this synonymy can be confirmed from the lectotype. The paralectotype is Hydrotaea militaris (Meigen, 1826) .
