Scathophaga lutaria

Description

Scathophaga lutaria (Fabricius, 1794)

Musca lutaria Fabricius, 1794: 344. ‘LECTOTYPE’: Germany, ‘Kiliae [= Kiel]’, designated by J. R. Vockeroth; designation not published (ZMHB).

Musca comito Harris, 1780: 117.? HOLOTYPE: ♀, Great Britain, SE England (depository unknown). Unavailable name; synonymized by PONT & MICHELSEN (1982: 31).

Note. The figure in the original publication shows a female from England. The name comito is a verb and thus not available according to ICZN (ICZN 1999; Article 11.9). Harris’ collection is generally considered to have been destroyed (PONT & MICHELSEN 1982: 26).

Scatomyza maculipes Zetterstedt, 1846: 1964. HOLOTYPE: J, Norway, ‘diversorium Suulstuen [= guesthouse at Suulstuen]’, labelled as follows: 1 st label ‘ C. maculipes J Suul norv.’; 2 nd label ‘Suul, Iug. alp. Norv. 11.- 15.7.40’ [= Norway, NTI (= Nord-Tröndelag, indre), Verdel, Sulstua] (MZLU) (H. Andersson 1974, pers. comm.). Synonymized by HACKMAN (1956: 18).

Scatophagella pallipes Szilády, 1926: 597, syn. nov. HOLOTYPE: J, Tunis, Ujhelyi leg.

Note. The type material was destroyed in Budapest in 1956.All characters of S. pallipes are within the limits of variability of S. lutaria and I therefore consider S. pallipes as a junior synonym of S. lutaria.
