Musca chilensis Macquart, 1843: 154 ( 1844: 311) , pl. 20, fig.6 (junior primary homonym of Musca chilensis Walker, 1836 ). Lectotype ♂, “ Chili. M. Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — There is 1 ♂ syntype under no. 1860 of the Macquart collection in MNHN. It is rather dirty and has the right hind tarsomeres missing, but is otherwise well preserved. It has the accession no. 670.37 ( Chile, collector Gay), and is labelled by Macquart “N°. 75. / Musca / chilensis”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — The lectotype is a ♂ of Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 , and this synonymy has been recorded by Stein (1919: 103), Pont (1972: 7) and Carvalho et al. (1993: 17; 2005: 26).
