Description
Metopia staegerii Rondani, 1859
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 210.
TYPE LOCALITY: “ Danicus [Denmark]”.
TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♂, lectotype (missing right fore-, left mid- and both hind-legs) (MZUF: Box 14): Metopia Mg. / staegerii Rnd., Dania / 276 / 702 / Lectotype Metopia staegerii Rndn., ♂, T. Pape det.
PARALECTOTYPE EXAMINED: 1 ♂ (MZUF: Box 14): Metopia Mg. / staegerii Rnd., Dania / 702 / paralectotype Metopia staegerii Rndn., ♂, T. Pape det.
PARALECTOTYPES NOT EXAMINED: 3 ♂♂ (one missing left hind-leg, one missing left mid-leg) (MZUF: Box 14): Metopia Mg. / staegerii Rnd., Dania / 702 / Metopia italiana Pape, T. Pape det., 1984.
CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Metopia argentata Macquart, 1851 (Verves 1986: 97); valid species (Pape 1988: 16, 1996: 104, Povolný & Verves 1997: 105).
REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 210) described Metopia staegerii from just the male sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens: “ marem tantum observavi [I observed only the male]”, received from R.C. Staeger. Pape (1985: 213) reported six specimens in the MZUF and designated a lectotype (♂) and paralectotype (♂). Not included by him in the type series are an additional four specimens: three males (all paralectotypes) belonging, in his opinion, to a different species, and one female (non-type) because of its sex.
