ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1857: 152 (key), 161 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ a Pedemontio [Piedmont ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing right hind-leg) ( MZUF: Box 6): Cheilosia Mgn / subalpina Rnd. , ♂, Pedem. [= Piedmont] / 286 / Lectotypus Cheilosia subalpina Rond. , ♂, des. Claussen & Thompson, 1996 .

PARALECTOTYPES EXAMINED: 1 ♂ ( MZUF: Box 6): Cheilosia Mgn / subalpina Rnd ., ♂, Pedem. [= Piedmont] / 286 ; 1 ♀ ( MZUF: Box 6): Cheilosia Mgn / subalpina Rnd ., ♀, Ped. [= Piedmont] / 286 / Paralectotypus Cheilosia subalpina Rond. , ♀, etik. Claussen & Thompson, 1996.

PARALECTOTYPE NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♀ ( MZUF: Box 6): Cheilosia Mgn / subalpina Rnd. , ♀ , Ped. [= Piedmont] / 286 / ♀ .

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Cheilosia pagana ( Meigen, 1822) View in CoL ( Peck 1988: 112, Belcari et al. 1995a: 13, Claussen & Thompson 1996: 280).

REMARKS: Rondani (1857: 161) described both sexes of Cheilosia subalpina without specifying the exact number of specimens and giving a range of lengths: “ In collectione Mussino marem speciei inveni, alterum sexum Pr. Bellardi … misit [I found the male in Mussino’s collection and the female was sent to me by Prof. Bellardi]”. Claussen & Thompson (1996: 280) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (1 ♂, 1 ♀) but did not mention an additional female in the MZUF (Box 6) (this additional specimen is a paralectotype). Not included by them in the type series is the additional male numbered “286” labeled “Asch 7 [1]870.5” because it was collected at Asch [= Aš, Czech Republic] by F. Kowarz and later donated to Rondani. An additional female in the MZUF (Box B) labeled “Brixia [= Brescia]” is not included in the type series because it is not from the type locality.
