Macquart, 1838
(
Artigas & Angulo 1980: 82
,
Papavero 2009: 40
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1863: 46)
moved
Atomosia tibialis
Macquart, 1846
to the genus
Mallophora
Macquart, 1834
and proposed the new replacement name
Mallophora cruralis
for
Mallophora tibialis
(
Macquart, 1846
)
, preoccupied by
Macquart (1838a: 89)
.
Costa
(1866: 36)
listed a single MZUN specimen numbered “797”. The type material for
Mallophora cruralis
will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e.,
Atomosia tibialis
. The
holotype
of this latter species is preserved in the OUMNH (Oxford
University Museum of Natural History 2020
). Under the name
Mallophora cruralis
there is a (non-type) female in the MZUN (Box Asilidei A05, 05).
