Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani Author Sforzi, Alessandra 0000-0001-6974-7741 alessandra.sforzi@libero.it Author Sommaggio, Daniele 0000-0001-6974-7741 alessandra.sforzi@libero.it text Zootaxa 2021 2021-06-17 4989 1 1 438 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1 1175-5326 4980621 89C63841-3CF4-491D-8C73-BEF7DCB18FB5 Polleniidae The family Polleniidae was proposed by Brauer & Bergenstamm (1889) to include the genus Pollenia , until recently considered as belonging to Calliphoridae (e.g. Rognes 1997 ; Kutty et al . 2010 ). Cerretti et al . (2019) reinstated the family both on morphological and molecular basis. The family contains 152 species ( Evenhuis & Pape 2020 ) distributed in Holarctic, Afrotropical and Australasian regions. Rondani (1856 , 1862d ) described five Palaearctic species in his “ Stirps Muscinae ”. Two of these are currently considered as valid, three as junior synonyms ( Rognes 1991 a , Pape et al . 1995). Schumann (1986) incorrectly attributed one species to Rondani. Rognes (1991a) examined the type material in the MZUF and designated a lectotype for Pollenia levis Rondani, 1862 , Pollenia paupera Rondani, 1862 , Pollenia pulvillata Rondani, 1862 and Pollenia ruficrura Rondani, 1862 . Except for Anthracomya geneji Rondani, 1856 , which has presumably been lost, the type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (four), MSNC (one), MSNPV (one), MZLU (one), and MNHN (one).
