frontalis Macquart, 1835 , Anthomyia

Anthomyia frontalis Macquart, 1835: 339 . Syntype (s) ♀ (♀), “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area), not in MNHN or MHNL, and presumed destroyed.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♀♀. Macquart (1850c: 535) recorded this species as present in the MHNL collection, but no syntypes have been located.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Macquart himself suggested that this might be the ♀ of his Anthomyia nitida , described from the ♂ sex on the previous page (338). Bezzi & Stein (1907: 721) followed this although they were still unable to interpret A. nitida . Hennig (1976: 924) located some specimens of A. nitida in MNHN (see below, under Anthomyia nitida Macquart, 1835 ), and on the basis of these I have synonymized Macquart’s name Anthomyia frontalis with Fannia serena (Fallén, 1825) ( Pont 1986b: 55) .
