Phasia dispar
Rondani, 1843
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1843a: 461.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
Parisiis
[
Paris
]” (
Fabricius, 1794: 284
) [
type
locality for
Phasia crassipennis
(
Fabricius, 1794
)
].
TYPE
MATERIAL: see Remarks.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Ectophasia crassipennis
(
Fabricius, 1794
) (
Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 402
)
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1843a: 461)
considered the males of
Phasia crassipennis
(
Fabricius, 1794
)
and the females of
Phasia analis
(Fabricius, 1798)
as belonging to the same species but, instead of applying the Principle of Priority, incorrectly proposed the substitute name
Phasia dispar
.
He reaffirmed having proposed
Phasia dispar
to combine the males of
Phasia crassipennis
,
Phasia discoidea
Meigen, 1838
and
Phasia varia
Meigen, 1838
and the females of
Phasia analis
(
Rondani 1861b: 219
,
1862d: 37
). He later (
Rondani 1865c: 225
) treated
Phasia dispar
as a valid species.
Phasia dispar
is considered as a synonym of
Phasia crassipennis
by
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 574)
and
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 402)
, and as a synonym of
Phasia analis
by
Schiner (1861a: 399
,
1864: 101
), but never as a valid species.
O’Hara
et al.
(2011: 208)
considered the name
Phasia dispar
as available. The type material for
Phasia dispar
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Phasia crassipennis
. There are
four syntypes
of this latter species in the ZMUC (
O’Hara
et al
. 2009: 133
). Under the name
Phasia dispar
there are
one male
and
one female
in the MSNC and
two specimens
in the MZUB (all non-types).
