Pont, Adrian C., 2012, Muscoidea (Fanniidae, Anthomyiidae, Muscidae) described by P. J. M. Macquart (Insecta, Diptera), Zoosystema 34 (1), pp. 39-111 : 97

vittata Macquart, 1835 , Anthomyia

Anthomyia vittata Macquart, 1835: 336 . Lectotype ♂, “du nord de la France ” ( France, Lille area ), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from an unspecified number of ♂♂. 2 ♂♂ syntypes are in MNHN, and one was studied by Hennig (1976: 926) who described it as “wahrscheinlich der Holotypus ” ; he did not see the 2nd ♂. I have labelled the ♂ seen by Hennig and designate it herewith as lectotype. It is not fully hardened but otherwise perfectly preserved ; the abdomen has been removed and mounted on a slide by Hennig. It is labelled by Macquart “N°. 329. X / Anthomyia / vittata”. I have labelled the 2nd ♂ as paralectotype. It is perfectly preserved too, and labelled by Macquart “329” and “ Anthomyia / vittata”. There is a ♀ anthomyiid with these 2 ♂♂, but it cannot be a syntype and I have not attempted an identification.

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Both ♂♂ are conspecific and belong to Botanophila fugax (Meigen, 1826) , a synonymy first proposed by Hennig (1976: 926, as Pegohylemyia Schnabl, 1911 ), though it was left as an unrecognized species by Dely-Draskovits (1993: 101).
