Eristalis agnatus Rondani, 1851 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1851: 358.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brasile [ Brazil]” ( Rondani, 1848b: 69) [type locality for Eristalis cognatus Rondani, 1848 ]; [Belem (Pará), Brazil] ( Papavero 1973: 343). See Remarks.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, syntype (missing right hind-leg) ( MZUF: Box 72): Eristalomya agnata Rnd. , Brasil / Brasil / [no identification number]; 1 ♂, syntype ( MZUN: Box Coll. entomol. extra-europea, Fam. Sirfidei - Gen. Dolichomerus a Meromacrus ): Eristalomya agnata Rnd. , Brasile / M. Zool. N° 11239 / ♂.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Palpada scutellaris ( Fabricius, 1805) ( Thompson et al. 1976: 109) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1848b: 69) described Eristalis cognatus from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, from material collected in South America by V. Ghiliani. Rondani (1851: 358) proposed the new replacement name Eristalis agnatus for Eristalis cognatus , preoccupied by Wiedemann (1824: 37). Costa (1866: 31) listed a single MZUN specimen, as Eristalomyia agnata , numbered “621”. We found two syntypes in this study. Although Rondani (1848b: 63) only gave the type locality as “ Brasile ”, Papavero (1973: 343) gave a more accurate type locality based on a note in Spinola (1853) that said all specimens collected by Ghiliani in 1846 were collected in Belem, Pará, Brazil.
