maculata Macquart, 1835 View in CoL , Hydrophoria

Hydrophoria maculata Macquart, 1835: 299 View in CoL . Lectotype ♂, “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area ), by present designation, in MHNL.

MATERIAL. — Macquart (1850c: 533) recorded this species as present in the MHNL collection. There is one syntype in box F of the Macquart collection in MHNL. It is extremely damaged: abdomen, right antenna, left foretarsomeres, tarsomeres 2-5 on left mid and hind leg, and all three right legs missing. What remains is very damp. The drawer label reads “H. / maculata / Meig. [sic] Lille”. There is no species described by Meigen as maculata in the Muscoidea, and so the “Meig.” on this label must be a lapsus for Macquart. I have labelled this ♂ and designate it herewith as lectotype.

There is 1 ♂ in MNHN, labelled by Macquart “283” and “maculata”, but this is not a syntype as it does not agree with the description.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Bezzi & Stein (1907: 687), Hennig (1969a: 287) and Dely-Draskovits (1993: 62) have treated H. maculata as a junior synonym of Hydrophoria ruralis (Meigen, 1826) , and this synonymy is correct according to the lectotype. The ♂ in MNHN is Helina quadrinotata (Meigen, 1826) .
