Campylomyza sidneyensis SCHINER,, 1868:

Of the 3 female adult syntypes in the NHMW referred to by BUGLEDICH (1999) nothing remains. KOLESIK (in litt.) describes the “specimen” he had on loan from Vienna as follows: “ One pin with 3 paper labels and one plastic triangular specimen holder. No insect was attached to the specimen holder. One label reads " Campylomyza sidneyensis ”, one reads "X" and one is a simple red square.” The other two syntypes, provided they once existed, are not present nor registered as loan in the NHMW (SEHNAL, in litt.) and I regard them as lost. SCHINER´s description of this species is by modern standards useless for identification. Therefore I consider Campylomyza sidneyensis SCHINERSCHINER to be a dubious name, or nomen dubium.
