REMARKS: Rondani (1866d: 39) proposed Helomyza agnata for Helomyza affinis Meigen, 1830 sensu Zetterstedt (1847: 2439) , which he considered a new species. Rondani referred to Zetterstedt’s redescription of Helomyza affinis , which was based on an unspecified number of specimens, and to an unspecified number of males: “ marem tantum inveni [I found the male only]”. Therefore, the type material is in the collections of Zetterstedt (MZLU) and Rondani (MZUF). Rondani published the species first in a separate (1866d) and then in the journal version (1867b). Eight syntypes were found in this study.
