Treatment

cyanea Macquart, 1843 View in CoL , Curtonevra

Curtonevra cyanea Macquart, 1843: 157 ( 1844: 314) View in CoL , pl. 21, fig. 6. Lectotype ♂, “du Chili, Conception. MM. Dumont-Durville et Gay. Muséum.” ( Chile), by present designation, in MNHN.

MATERIAL. — Described from both sexes from Concepción in Chile, from material sent to MNHN by Gay and Dumont-Durville. There are 2 syntypes in MNHN, under no. 1863 of the Macquart collection. The ♂ has the accession no. 670.37, the number for a collection from Chile sent by Gay. It is rather mouldy ; right antenna and left wing missing. It is labelled by Macquart “N°. 78. / Curtonevra / cyanea.”. I have labelled it and designate it herewith as lectotype. The ♀ has the data “Concept. / ( Chili) / Durv.” written on an accessions disc, and also the number “80”. It is also mouldy, and lacks left hind leg. I have labelled it as paralectotype .

CURRENT IDENTITY. — Both specimens are conspecific and belong to a good species of the genus Myospila Rondani, 1856 . Myospila cyanea ( Macquart, 1843) has been correctly interpreted by Snyder (1940: 6) and Lopes & Reis (1991: 187, figs 1, 4, 7, 10).

Evenhuis (1997: 513) dates this work from the earliest review, of February 1844. However, it does not follow from this date that the work was published in 1844, and there is no evidence to suggest that the printed date of 1843 is incorrect. In fact, for a review to appear in print in February 1844, it seems most likely that the work was indeed published in 1843.]
