Brevicornu fuscipenne (Staeger, 1840)

Mycetophila fuscipennis Staeger, 1840: 259

? Mycetophila bicolour Macquart, 1834

Specimen determined as Mycetophila bicolour Macquart, 1834 in Zetterstedt (1852, 4216).

Material. Male [SPM­005163] plus female [SPM­005164] on same pin [with light blue tag, labelled: M. bicolour Macqu. ďΨ. Esperöd Scan.] – Sweden: SK, Kivik´s Esperöd in Mellby parish, undated.

As noted by Zetterstedt (1852) the male and female were taken in copula, and thus the

females should be safely associated with the male. Mycetophila bicolour Macquart, 1834

is treated as a nomen dubium, possibly a Brevicornu sp. in Hackman et al. (1988).
