Heringia zetterstedtii
Rondani, 1856
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 53.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
in Suecia
[
Sweden
]” (Zetterstedt 1843: 844) [
type
locality for
Pipiza heringii
Zetterstedt, 1843
]
.
TYPE
MATERIAL: see Remarks.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Heringia heringii
(Zetterstedt, 1843) (
Peck 1988: 83
)
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1856: 53)
proposed
Heringia
as a new genus and identified
Pipiza heringii
Zetterstedt, 1843
as the type species. Having used the species epithet for the new nominal genus and thinking that the name
Heringia heringii
was incorrect, Rondani incorrectly substituted it with
Heringia zetterstedtii
.
Schiner (1860: 260
,
1864: 111
),
Verrall (1901: 24)
, Bezzi & Stein, (1907: 7),
Kertész (1910: 11)
,
Lundbeck (1916: 62)
and
Sack (1928: 20)
placed this name in synonymy with
Pipiza heringii
while
Kowarz (1885: 241)
considered it as a valid species. The type material for
Heringia zetterstedtii
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Pipiza heringii
. For this latter species
Claussen
et al.
(1994: 316)
designated a
lectotype
and a
paralectotype
in the MZLU. Goeldlin de Tiefenau (in
Claussen
et al.
1994: 318
) incorrectly considered the single
Heringia zetterstedtii
female in the MZUF as the
holotype
.
