Cordilura pubera auct., nec Linnaeus, 1758

Musca pubera Linnaeus, 1758: 598 (misidentification). SYNTYPES: ‘Habitat in Europa [= found in Europe]’. See note on the genus.

Cordylura rufipes Meigen, 1826:232 . HOLOTYPE: J, England, Dr.Leach leg.(depository unknown). Synonymized by VOCKEROTH (1965: 827).

Mosina dejeani Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 671 , syn. nov.? SYNTYPES: S France, ‘[…] fait partie de la collection du comte Dejean [= from the collection of count Dejean]’ (current depository unknown).

Note. ROBINEAU- DESVOIDY (1830) wrote about M. dejeani : ‘Taille M. pubera […] Abdomen d’un rougeâtre obscure; pattes d’un rougeâtre-obcure pâle […] [= Size as in M. pubera […] Abdomen dark rusty, legs dark rusty and pale]’.
