REMARKS:
Rondani (1850c: 166)
described
Eristalis nili
from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens, from material received from E. Truqui.
Thompson (2019: 155)
designated the MRSN female as
lectotype
and considered this specimen to have been apparently mis-sexed by Rondani.
