Rondani, 1848
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 95.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
Brésil, environs de Para
[
Brazil
, in the environs of Pará]” (

) [
type
locality for

(Macquart, 1838)
]
.
TYPE
MATERIAL: see Remarks.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of
Promachus nigripes
(
Fabricius, 1787
) (
Martin & Papavero 1970: 80
)
; junior synonym of
Amblyonychus nigripes
(
Fabricius, 1787
) (
Papavero 2009: 34
)
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1848b: 95)
considered
Trupanea
Macquart, 1839
as a junior synonym of the genus
Mallophora
Macquart, 1834
and moved the species
Asilus nigripes
Fabricius, 1787
to the genus
Mallophora
. Consequently, Rondani proposed the new replacement name
Mallophora macquartii
for
Mallophora nigripes
(Macquart, 1838)
secondary homonym of
Mallophora nigripes
Fabricius, 1787
.
Papavero (2009: 34)
incorrectly reported type material as being in the MZUN. The type material for
Mallophora macquartii
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Asilus nigripes
. The
holotype
of this latter species is preserved in the
MNHN
(Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020).
