australis Macquart, 1847 , Cyrtonevra

Cyrtonevra australis Macquart, 1847a: 85 ( 1847b: 101) , pl. 5, fig. 10. Lectotype ♂, “de la Tasmanie. M. Bigot.” ( Australia, Tasmania), by present designation, in BMNH.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂ from Bigot’s collection. A ♂ is in that part of the Bigot collection now in the BMNH, and was earlier studied by Brauer (1899: 526). It is rather dirty and mouldy ; the left wing is loose and most of the right wing is lost; antennae and both mid legs missing. It is labelled by Macquart “ Curtonevra / australis. ♂ / n. sp. Macq. / Tasmania ”, and stands over a Bigot drawer label reading “ C. Australis. ♂ / Tasman. Macq.”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype .

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The lectotype is a ♂ of Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1816) , and this synonymy was recorded by Pont (1989b: 676).
