N o n - t y p e. Material. Split-Dalmatia: “Dalmatien”, “Frfld. / Dalm.”, Bucchichi / Alte Sammlung ”, 10 ♂, “ Schineri det. Frauenf. ”, 10 ♂, 7 ♀, “ Lesina coll.

Remarks. Larvae infest fruits of Ziziphus spp. (Rhamnaceae) .

The nominal species Orellia bucchichi was described by Frauenfeld based on a single female collected on fruits of Ziziphys vulgaris in a garden. Types of Frauenfeld’s species are deposited mostly in the NHMW, but usually neither have red labels nor other designations indicating that they are name-bearing types. Furthermore, many of them were distributed among colleagues (Bergenstamm, Egger, etc.), aftewards also incorporated into the old collection (“Alte Sammlung”) of the NHMW and thus could be syntypes or even holotypes. The specimens in the collection of NHMW are apparently topotypic with Frauenfeld’s specimen, but almost all the females have labels indicating that they were not the specimen from which the species was described, except one ♀ (fig. 9, a), which has the labels (fig. 9, b) that do not contradict the idea that it is the ♀ identified by Frauenfeld as bucchichi . We therefore have labeled this specimen as the holotype. The specimens originally misattributed by Frauenfeld to a previously described similar species ( Carpomya schineri Loew, 1856) were not mentioned in his description of Orellia bucchichi and thus neither they nor the other specimens listed above can be types of O. bucchichi .
