Dalmannia parvula
Rondani, 1857
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1857: 251.
TYPE
LOCALITY:
Meigen (1824: 150)
gave no
type
locality in the original description of
Dalmannia marginata
(
Meigen, 1824
)
, but presumably it is Europe because the work deals with European species.
TYPE
MATERIAL: see Remarks.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Dalmannia marginata
(
Meigen, 1824
)
(
Chvála & Smith 1988: 271
,
Rivosecchi & Scaramozzino 1995: 4
,
Stuke 2017: 140
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1857: 251)
considered the males of
Dalmannia marginata
(
Meigen, 1824
)
and
Dalmannia marginella
(
Zetterstedt, 1844
)
and the females of
Dalmannia flavipes
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
as belonging to the same species but, instead of applying the Principle of Priority, incorrectly proposed the substitute name
Dalmannia parvula
.
It has always been considered as a synonym of
Dalmannia marginata
(
Meigen, 1824
)
(
Schiner 1861a: 390
,
Schiner 1864: 113
,
Becker 1905: 272
,
Kröber 1925: 42
,
Chvála & Smith 1988: 271
,
Rivosecchi & Scaramozzino 1995: 4
,
Stuke 2017: 140
), never as a valid species. The type material for
Dalmannia parvula
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Dalmannia marginata
.
Meigen (1824: 151)
reported the types of
Dalmannia marginata
in M. Baumhauer’s collection. The
holotype
of
Dalmannia marginata
is in the
MNHN
(Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020).
Stuke (2017: 140)
incorrectly reported the
holotype
of
Dalmannia parvula
as in the MZUF. Under the name
Dalmannia parvula
in the MSNC there is
one specimen
(non-type).
