Chamaemyiidae
This worldwide family of acalyptrate flies has almost 350 species (
Evenhuis & Pape 2020
).
Rondani (1847d
,
1848a
,
1872
c
, 1875a) described 12 Palaearctic nominal species, nine considered as valid and three as junior synonyms (
Raspi 1983
,
Tanasijtshuk 1984
,
Nartshuk
et al.
1995
,
Raspi 2003
,

,
Raspi & Benelli 2016
) in his “
Stirps
Lonchaeinae
”. The family
Chamaemyiidae
was proposed by
Hendel (1910b)
.
Rondani (1873a)
also proposed two
nomina
nuda
. In his paper on the Rondani types at MZUB,
Morge (1959b)
listed one name (
nomen nudum
) that he attributed to Rondani.
Morge (1962b)
designated a
lectotype
for
Leucopis aphidiperda
Rondani, 1848
and
Leucopis aphidivora
Rondani,
1847
in the MZUB. Alfio Raspi and G. Benelli examined the type material in the MZUF;
Raspi (1983
,
2003
,
2006
) designated a
lectotype
for
Leucopis bursaria
Rondani, 1848
,
Leucopis palumbii
Rondani, 1872
and
Ochtiphila frontella
Rondani, 1875
;
Raspi & Benelli (2016)
designated a
lectotype
for
Leucopis armillata
Rondani, 1875
,
Leucopis ballestrerii
Rondani, 1875
,
Leucopis misaphida
Rondani, 1848
and
Leucopis palliditarsis
Rondani, 1848
. The type material is distributed between the MZUF (12) and MZUB (two).
