[near Lille (

)]” (
Macquart 1834b: 129
) [
type
locality for
Tachina angusta
Macquart, 1854
].
TYPE

Exorista
(

mimula

)
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1859b: 201)
considered the males of
Tachina angusta
Macquart, 1854
and
Tachina angustifasciata
Macquart, 1854
, and the females of
Tachina flavicalyptrata
Macquart, 1854
,
Tachina celer
Macquart, 1854
and
Tachina pusilla
Macquart, 1834
, as the same species but, instead of applying the Principle of Priority, incorrectly proposed the substitute name
Tachina erucarum
.
Schiner (1861b: 474
,
1864: 93
),
Meade (1892a: 37)
,
Strobl (1893: 91)
,
Mik & Wachtl (1895: 248)
and
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 347)
considered
Tachina erucorum
as a valid species. The
type
material for
Tachina erucarum
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Tachina angusta
. There is no
type
of this latter species in the MHNL (O. Boilly, pers. comm., 2019),
MNHN
(Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020) and OUMNH (Z. Simmons, pers. comm., 2019) where Macquart’s collection is preserved. Under the name
Tachina erucarum
there are
three males
and
four females
in the MZUF, and
one male
and
one female
in the MSNC (all non-types).
