flavicalyptrata Macquart, 1855 , Pyrellia

Pyrellia flavicalyptrata Macquart, 1855a: 134 ( 1855b: 114) View in CoL , pl. 6, fig. 10. Lectotype ♂, “d’Afrique, royaume de Gabon. M. Bigot.” ( Gabon), by present designation, in BMNH.

MATERIAL. — Described from Bigot’s collection; Bigot himself (1858: 370) gave a redescription of the species. 1 ♂ syntype is now in the BMNH, where it was seen by Emden (1939: 70). It is labelled by Macquart “ Pyrellia / flavicalyptrata / ♂. Macq.”, and stands over the Bigot drawer label “ P. flavicalyptrata . / ♂. Macq.”. The condition is generally poor ; it is mouldy, and left foretarsomeres 2-5 are missing.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Pyrellia flavicalyptrata is a junior synonym of Neomyia nudissima (Loew, 1852) as currently understood ( Zielke 1971: 161, as Orthellia ; Pont 1980: 728). When placed in Neomyia Walker, 1859 , it becomes a junior secondary homonym of Lucilia (now Neomyia ) flavicalyptrata Macquart, 1848 .
