Myopa testacea (Linnaeus, 1767) (Figs. 1, 10, 17, 24)

Conops testacea Linnaeus 1767: 1006.

Locus typicus: “Europa australis, Ascanius” (the last element may refer to the collector or collection – see Clements et al. in prep.).

Type material: A single specimen stands under this name in the Linnaean collection held at BMNH (Box 23): 1Ψ, labelled (1) “ testacea ex deper” and “ferruginea”, label verso “4”. [Specimen examined by DKC in September 1995].

Literature: Bańkowska (1979): Description, key; Chvála (1965): Description. key; Collin (1960): Diagnosis, key; Thompson (1997): Lectotype designation, taxonomic discussion; Clements et al. (in prep.) Application to conserve the name “ testacea ”.

Myopa testacea var. japonica Kröber 1916: 89

Locus typicus: “ Japan ”.

Lectotypus 1Ψ: (1) “Roretz / 1876 / Japan ”; (2) “ Typus ” [red label]; (3) “ Myopa stigma [sic!] / var. japonica Krb. / O. Kröber det. 1914”; (4) “ Lectotypus / Myopa testacea / var. japonica Kröber, 1916 / des. Stuke 2002 ” [red label]. [The lectotype is in good condition, and is deposited at NHMW, where it was examined by JHS in 2002].

Paralectotype: A syntype, which according to the original description is most probably a Ψ, is also held at NHMW (Contreras-Lichtenberg in litt. 2002), but was not examined for the present study.
