ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1862d: 196 (key), 202 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in collibus agri parmensis [Parmese hills ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, lectotype (not a male as Rondani reported) (missing right fore-leg) ( MZUF: Box 21): Pollenia Desv. / ruficrura Rond. , ♀ / 1106 / lectotype ♀, Pollenia ruficrura Rondani, 1862 , des. K. Rognes, 1990 .

PARALECTOTYPE EXAMINED: 1 ♀ (not a male as Rondani reported) (abdomen, hind- and right mid-legs glued to a cardboard stage pinned below a microvial containing the ovipositor and sternites 1–5) ( MZUF: Box 21): Pollenia Desv. / ruficrura Rond. , ♀ / 1106 / lectotype ♀, Pollenia ruficrura Rondani, 1862 , des. K. Rognes, 1990 .

CURRENT STATUS: nomen dubium View in CoL in Polleniinae ( Schumann 1986: 50) View in CoL ; valid species, as Pollenia ruficrura ( Rognes 1991a: 366, 1991b: 451, Pape et al. 1995: 10).

REMARKS: Rondani (1862d: 202) described Pollenia ruficrura from two males: “ Mares duo tantum lecti [collected only two males]”. Rognes (1991a: 456) designated a lectotype (♀) and paralectotype (♀) and stated that: “In Rondani’s collection (MZUF) are two conspecific females under the name ruficrura both numbered 1106. They fit the original description [except for the sex] and obviously constitute the syntypic series” (1991a: 453).
