Notes. It was indicated by Chandler (2004a) that the type specimen of Zygomyia simplex (in NMBA) had been examined and found to be conspecific with Z. valida ; this specimen was a male rather than a female as stated in the original description. As this has only been reported on line, this synonymy is formally established here.
