The interpretation of some Conopidae (Diptera) described by Robineau­Desvoidy Author Stuke, Jens-Hermann Author Clements, David K. text Zootaxa 2005 886 1 12 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.170914 de030dcc-8f78-4d62-b81e-2a49361f55cc 1175­5326 170914 " Myopella puncticeps R. D." A male of Myopa buccata (Linnaeus, 1758) . The specimen is well preserved. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) "M. / puncticeps / & / coll. Big." [round, white label]; (2) " TYPE " [red writing]; (3) " Myopella / puncticeps R. D." [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy and is evidently a syntype of Myopella puncticeps Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853 : 99 ­100. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Myopella puncticeps it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Myopella puncticeps / Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853 / des. Stuke & Clements, 2005" [red label, printed]. Chvála & Smith (1988) gave the name as Myopella punctipes Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853 , presumably in error. However, their proposed synonymy of this taxon with Myopa buccata (Linnaeus, 1758) is supported.
