REMARKS: Rondani (1878a: 155) described Ornithomyia andajensis from a single specimen, without specifying its sex: “ Unicum exemplar vidi … lectum … a Cel. O. Beccari [I saw a single specimen … collected by Mr. O. Beccari]”. This nominal species was described under the generic name “ Ornithomyia ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Ornithomya Latreille, 1804 or subsequent usage of Ornithomyia Agassiz, 1846 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 133).
