Musca tipularia Fabricius, 1794: 337 .? SYNTYPES: ‘ Habitat in Barbaria [= found in northwest Africa]’; no additional data quoted in the original paper (depository unknown).

Note. This species was redescribed by DE JONG (1985: 21-23) as Norellia tipularia ( Fabricius, 1794) View in CoL . DE JONG (1985) redescribed this species on the basis of specimens found recently in various countries and established the species differences between N. tipularia View in CoL and

N. spinipes View in CoL . The type specimen of M. tipularia View in CoL is not present in the collection of Fabricius ( ZIEMSEN 1964); the original description is very brief and thus a reliable identification is impossible. In my opinion, the characters of N. tipularia View in CoL are within the limits of variability of N. spinipes View in CoL (cf. ŠIFNER 2003a: 32).
