Copromyza alternata Rondani, 1868 View in CoL

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868b: 31.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Buenos Aires [Buenos Aires ( Argentina)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♂♂, syntypes (both moldy) ( MZUF: Box 72): Copromyza alternata R., Am. Mer. [= South America] / [no identification number ].

CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Archiborburus alternatus ( Norrbom et al. 2001: 49) ; junior synonym of Maculantrops hirtipes ( Macquart, 1844) ( Kits & Marshall 2013: 91) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1868b: 31) described Copromyza alternata , without specifying the number , the sex or the length of the specimens, from material received from P. Strobel. We found two syntypes in this study. Rondani (1868b) indicated the type locality as Buenos Aires ( Argentina) where Strobel taught from 1865–1867, but the specimens are labeled “ Am. Mer. ” (= “ America Meridionali ”) [South America]. Kits & Marshall (2013) examined the MZUF type material without publishing any lectotype designation.
