ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1878a: 158.

TYPE LOCALITY: “ Hatam in Nova Guinea [Hatam, New Guinea]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, lectotype ( MSNG): N. Guinea, Hatam., VI.1875, Beccari / Ornithomyia hatamensis Rd. / Typus / hatamensis Rondn. / Ornithoctona nigricans Leach var. doreica Walk. , det. Speiser, 1905 / syn. of Ornithoct. plicata Olf., J. Bequaert 1951 / Ornithoctona plicata Olf. , det. Theodor, 1952.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Ornithoctona plicata Olfers, 1816 ( Maa 1989a: 787) View in CoL .

REMARKS: Rondani (1878a: 158) described Ornithomyia hatamensis from two specimens: “ exemplaria duo observata … inventa a Cel. O. Beccari [I observed two specimens … collected by Mr. O. Beccari]”. Guiglia (1957: 196) reported the MSNG specimen of Ornithomyia hatamensis as “ holotype ”, without knowing of an additional female in the MZUF. She unambiguously selected a single specimen in the type series to serve as the namebearing type and therefore this specimen must be considered as the lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.5). Maa (1963: 37) examined the MSNG and MZUF material for Ornithomyia hatamensis and reported that Guiglia fixed the lectotype. Rondani described this nominal species under the generic name “ Ornithomyia ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Ornithomya Latreille, 1804 or subsequent usage of Ornithomyia Agassiz, 1846 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 133).
