REMARKS:
Rondani (1875a: 253)
described
Geomyza calceata
from just the male sex without specifying either the
number
or the length of the specimens: “
Mas semel lectus
[male collected once]”. Árpad Soós labeled the single MZUF male as “
holotype
” but he never indicated this specimen as
holotype
in any of his publication (E.P. Nartshuk & J.W.A. van Zuijlen, pers. comm., 2012). We consider it as a
syntype
because Rondani did not specify he had a single specimen. The MZUF also contains a (non-type) female because of its sex.
