Exorista vigilans
Rondani, 1859
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 135.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
in agro parmensi
” [
Parmese
territory (
Italy
)]”
.
TYPE MATERIAL:
1 ♂
,
syntype
(
MZUF
: Box 13):
Exorista
Mgn.
/
gnava
♂
/ 635.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Carcelia bombylans
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
(
Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 213
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1859b: 135)
redescribed some males of
Exorista gnava
(
Meigen, 1824
)
in his collection, which did not fit well with Meigen’s description and suggested naming them
Exorista vigilans
. We did not find any specimens under this name. There are
three males
labeled “
E. gnava
Mgn.
” in the MZUF, which fit Rondani’s description of
Exorista vigilans
: one is excluded from the type series because it is labeled “Oropa”, which is not the type locality, and one because its label is yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and is in a lower row in the Box, for which reason we treat it to be a subsequent addition. We consider the remaining male as a
syntype
of
Exorista vigilans
Rondani.
