Amaurosoma flavipes

Description

Amaurosoma flavipes (Fallén, 1819)

Cordylura flavipes Fallén, 1819: 9.? SYNTYPES: Sweden, ‘ad lacum Gyllebo, Scaniae [= at Gyllebo lake, Skåne], 9.vii.[1819]’ (probably MZLU) (cf. SCHINER 1864a: 11).

Cleigastra frontalis Macquart, 1835: 387. SYNTYPES: J ♀, ‘Du nord de la France [= from northern France]’ (depository unknown). Synonymized by BECKER (1894: 114).

Cordylura trilineata Meigen, 1838: 341. HOLOTYPE: ♀, type locality not given (depository unknown). Synonymized by GORODKOV (1986: 18).

Cordylura nigriventris Loew, 1864: 19, syn. nov. HOLOTYPE: ♀, Poland, ‘ Posen [= Poznań]’ (depository unknown).

Note. All characters of C. nigriventris are within the limits of variability of A. flavipes, and I therefore suggest C. nigriventris as a junior synonym of A. flavipes.

Amaurosoma kamtschatkense Hendel, 1930b: 9. HOLOTYPE: J, Russia, Far East, ‘ Kamtschatka [= Kamchatka], Klutschi [= Klyuchi], Malaise leg.’; red label: ‘ kamtschatkense Hend., No. 469’, det. Hendel (NHMW). Synonymized by ŠIFNER (1977b: 398).

Amaurosoma multisetosum Hackman, 1956: 16. HOLOTYPE: J, Finland, ‘Helsinge [= Helsinki], R. Frey leg.’ (MZHF). Synonymized by ŠIFNER (1975: 220).

New record. RUSSIA: FAR EAST, Kamtschatka [= Kamchatka], 2 ♀♀ (No. 358 and No. 595), without data, Malaise leg. (NHMW).
