aestivalis Macquart, 1835 , Limnophora

Limnophora aestivalis Macquart, 1835: 313 . Unjustified replacement name for Anthomyia aestiva Meigen, 1826 View in CoL .

MATERIAL. — Macquart wrote: “ Limnophora aestivalis . — Anthomyia id. Meig. n°. 149”. Meigen’s “no. 149” (Meigen 1826: 169) is actually Anthomyia aestiva , and so aestivalis is an unjustified replacement name. As this is a replacement name, Meigen’s types of aestiva are also the types of aestivalis .

A rather mouldy ♀ was found in the Collection générale at MNHN, labelled by Macquart “310 bis” and “ Limnophora / aestivalis?”. This is Hydrotaea meteorica (Linnaeus, 1758) .

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The species aestiva Meigen is now placed in the genus Pegoplata Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911 , and the name Limnophora aestivalis is included as a junior synonym of Pegoplata aestiva (Meigen, 1826) in the standard works ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 727; Séguy 1937: 74; Hennig 1968: 229; Dely-Draskovits 1993: 91).
