ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 223 (key), 225 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro parmensi in collibus [Parmese hills ( Italy)]”.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing head) ( MZUF: Box 14): Sphixapata Rndn. / lineolata Rnd. , ♂ / 728 / lectotype ♂ Sphixapata lineolata Rndn., T. Pape det., 1986 / Senotainia tricuspis (Mg.) , T. Pape det., 1986.

PARALECTOTYPES EXAMINED: 2 ♀♀ ( MZUF: Box 14): Sphixapata Rndn. / lineolata Rnd. / 728 / paralectotype; 1 ♀ ( MZUF: Box 14): Sphixapata Rndn. / lineolata Rnd. / 728 / [label not interpreted] / paralectotype.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Phrosinella nasuta ( Meigen, 1824) ( Verves 1986: 103) ; junior synonym of Senotainia tricuspis ( Meigen, 1838) ( Pape 1988: 9, 1996: 141).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 225) described both sexes of Sphixapata lineolata without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths. Pape (1988: 10) designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotypes (3 ♀♀), including a female numbered “728” even though its label is yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and is in a lower row in the Box.
