limbinervis Macquart, 1843 View in CoL , Chortophila

Chortophila limbinervis Macquart, 1843: 169 ( 1844: 326) View in CoL , pl. 23, figs 2, 2a (not pl. 22 as stated by Macquart). Lectotype ♀, “du Chili. M. Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from both sexes, but the only surviving syntype is a ♀, under no. 1880 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. It has the accession no. 670.37 ( Chile, collector Gay), and it is labelled by Macquart “N°. 88. / Chortophila / limbinervis”. It is dirty, but otherwise well preserved. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

Stein (1907b: 278) redescribed some specimens (5 ♂♂ and 1 ♀) standing over the name limbinervis in Bigot’s collection in OUMNH, but these are not syntypes.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — This species belongs to the genus Anthomyia Meigen, 1803 , and to the group formerly segregated as the genus Craspedochoeta Macquart, 1851 , in which it was listed by Pont (1974a: 3). It is a valid species with just the cross-veins r-m and dm-cu clouded, and was correctly interpreted by Malloch (1934: 183). The OUMNH specimens are correctly identified as Anthomyia limbinervis ( Macquart, 1843) .
