chilensis Macquart, 1843 , Anthomyia

Anthomyia chilensis Macquart, 1843: 171 ( 1844: 328) , pl. 23, figs 4, 4a. Lectotype ♂, “du Chili. M. Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from both sexes from material in MNHN collected by Gay. There are 2 ♂♂ and 2 ♀♀ syntypes in the Macquart collection, under no. 1882. Each one has a disc with the accession no. 670.37, which refers to a collection from Chile received from Gay. 1 ♂ is labelled by Macquart “N°. 89. / Anthomyia / chilensis.”. It is rather mouldy but is otherwise well preserved. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype. The 2nd ♂ has been labelled “canicularis” by Séguy and “ Fannia ” by Albuquerque ; this ♂ and the 2 ♀♀ have been labelled as paralectotypes.

In OUMNH there is 1 ♂ in the Bigot collection over the label “ H. chilensis . ♂ / Anthom. id. Macq. / Chili (Buen. Ayres) J. Bigot.”. This is not a syntype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — All four syntypes are Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761) , and the synonymy of Anthomyia chilensis with Fannia canicularis given by Stein (1919: 131) can be confirmed (see also Carvalho et al. 2003: 10). As pointed out by Stein (1907a: 216), the OUMNH ♂ is also F. canicularis .
