TYPE LOCALITY: “ Paris ” ( Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 297 ) [ type locality for Elomyia nigra Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ]. TYPE MATERIAL: see remarks. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Elomya lateralis ( Meigen, 1824 ) ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 408 ) . REMARKS: Rondani (1861b: 218) considered the male of Elomyia nebulosa (Panzer, 1798) sensu Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 296) and sensu Macquart (1833: 203) and the females of Elomya nigra Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as belonging to the same species but, instead of applying the Principle of Priority, incorrectly proposed the substitute name Elomya lugubris . It has always been considered as junior synonym of Elomya lateralis ( Meigen, 1824 ) ( Bezzi & Stein 1907: 576 , Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 408 ), never as a valid species. The type material for Elomya lugubris will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e., Elomya nigra . There is no type of this latter species in the MNHN where the Robineau-Desvoidy’s collection is preserved (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020). Under the name Elomya lugubris in the MZUF there are four males and five females , and in the MSNC one male and one female (all are non-types). Rondani (1862d: 24) redescribed this nominal species under the generic name “ Elomyia ”, which is an “incorrect subsequent spelling of Elomya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 or subsequent usage of Elomyia Macquart, 1834 ” ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 80 ).
