"Haustellia
nana
R. D."
A female of
Myopa occulta
Wiedemann
in Meigen, 1824. The left wing is missing, but otherwise the specimen is well preserved.
The specimen bears the following labels: (1) "
O
. /
nana
& / coll. Big." [round, white label]; (2) "Haustellia /
nana
R. D." [lightblue label].
This specimen was determined and labelled by RobineauDesvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a
syntype
of
Myopa nana
RobineauDesvoidy, 1830
: 248
. Since this specimen appears to be the only known
syntype
of
Myopa nana
it is herewith designated
lectotype
and the following label has been added: "
Lectotypus
/
Myopa nana
/ Robineau
Desvoidy, 1830
/ des. Stuke & Clements, 2005" [red label, printed].
Myopa nana
was placed by
Chvála & Smith (1988)
as a synonym of
Thecophora atra
(Fabricius, 1775)
. However, on the basis of the present specimen
Myopa nana
Robineau
Desvoidy, 1830
should be placed as a junior synonym of
Myopa occulta
Wiedemann
in Meigen, 1824 [
syn. nov.
].
