Herting det. holotype / lectotype ♂ Deximorpha marittima Rondani, 1862 , P. Cerretti and H. P. Tschorsnig des. 2011.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Estheria picta ( Meigen, 1826) ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 365, Cerretti & Tschorsnig 2012: 273; O’Hara et al. 2020: 46).

REMARKS: Rondani (1862d: 64) described Deximorpha marittima from one male and two females: “ Masculum collectionis meae gallicum, a Cl. Macq. missum, et Foeminae duoe in Sardinia inventae a Clar. Spinola olim communicatae [the male of my collection from Gallia, sent by Mr. Macq. (= Macquart), and two females found in Sardinia by Mr. Spinola]”. Rondani (1862d: 62) attributed the species name to M. Spinola. Cerretti & Tschorsnig (2012: 273) designated a lectotype (♂). Not included in the type series is an additional female in the MZUF labeled “Gallia” because just the male comes from this locality.
