03D53C65FF90CA42FE87A0B9FE0DFD51.taxon	description	A male of Dalmannia marginata (Meigen, 1824). Other than some mould, the specimen is well preserved.	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Clements, David K.

03D53C65FF90CA42FE87A39EFDF6FB2B.taxon	description	A male of Dalmannia aculeata (Linnaeus, 1761). The right rear and middle legs are missing, but otherwise the specimen is well preserved. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) " D. / meridionalis / coll. Big. " [round, white label]; (2) " Dalmania / meridionalis R. D. " [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a syntype of Dalmannia meridionalis Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830: 249. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Dalmannia meridionalis it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Dalmannia meridionalis / Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830 / des. Stuke & Clements, 2005 " [red label, printed]. The synonymy with Dalmannia aculeata (Linnaeus, 1761) proposed by Chvála & Smith (1988) is supported.	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Clements, David K.

03D53C65FF90CA43FE87A7C4FD8FFDA4.taxon	description	A female of Myopa occulta Wiedemann in Meigen, 1824. The left wing is missing, but otherwise the specimen is well preserved. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) " O. / nana & / coll. Big. " [round, white label]; (2) " Haustellia / nana R. D. " [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a syntype of Myopa nana Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830: 248. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Myopa nana it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Myopa nana / Robineau­ Desvoidy, 1830 / des.

03D53C65FF91CA43FE87A284FC78FAE9.taxon	description	A male of Myopa palliceps (Bigot, 1887). The specimen is well preserved. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) " M. / petiolata / ɗ / coll. Big. " [round, white label]; (2) " Heterellia / petiolata R. D. " [light­blue label]. An unpublished manuscript name. It is possible that Robineau­Desvoidy did not intend to publish this as new species but was instead assigning the specimen to his personal concept of Conops petiolata Linnaeus, 1767. However, this is perhaps unlikely as it would have required a gross error of identification by Robineau­Desvoid, since the latter is accepted to be a species of Physocephala (Thompson 1997).	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Clements, David K.

" [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy and can therefore be interpreted as a syntype of Myopa pellucida Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830: 244. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Myopa pellucida it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Myopa pellucida / Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830 / des. Stuke & Clements, 2005 " [red label, printed]. Chvála & Smith (1988) placed this species as a synonym of Myopa testacea (Linnaeus, 1767). However, on the basis of the present specimen Myopa pellucida Robineau­ Desvoidy, 1830 should be placed as a senior synonym of Myopa extricata Collin, 1960 [syn. nov]. It should be noted that following Thompson (1997), it is known that the species described as Myopa extricata by Collin (1960) is a junior synonym of Myopa testacea Linnaeus, 1767, and that the species long referred to as testacea by subsequent authors requires a replacement name. However, an application to the ICZN is in preparation to retain the current concepts of these two species, in accordance with Article 23.9 of the Code, and our use of the name extricata in this paper is therefore the same as that of other modern authors, pending the outcome of this application.	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Clements, David K.

03D53C65FF9ACA49FE87A0B9FCBDFDF4.taxon	description	The separation of Zodion cinereum and Zodion notatum (Meigen, 1804) is only possible by means of the antennal colouring, and it may well be that the presently accepted recognition of these two taxa as separate species is erroneous. In any event, this characteristic cannot be used in this case and the specimen is therefore assigned to the much more frequently recorded taxon, Zodion cinereum. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) " Z. / carceli / coll. Big. " [round, white label]; (2) " Zodion / carceli R. D. " [light­blue label]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau­Desvoidy, and can therefore be interpreted as a syntype of Zodion carceli Robineau­Desvoidy, 1830: 251. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Zodion carceli it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Zodion carceli / Robineau­Desvoidy, 1853 / des.

03D53C65FF9ACA49FE87A0B9FCBDFDF4.taxon	materials_examined	The description of Zodion rufipes Chen, 1939 corresponds with that of Zodion carceli auct. in all particulars and clearly describes the key identification characteristics usually ascribed to the latter. Chen (1939) does not mention Zodion carceli in his work on the Chinese Conopidae, although Zodion carceli auct. is reported from Mongolia and southern Siberia by Zimina (1988) and its occurrence in northern China could therefore well be expected. On the other hand, Zodion rufipes has thus far only been recorded from China. We believe it is very likely that Zodion rufipes Chen, 1939 is identical with Zodion carceli auct. However, the use of this name for Zodion carceli auct. is not recommended at this time because the type material of Zodion rufipes has not been examined and no material of this species from China has been available to date. Szilády (1926) described " Zodion cinereum var. kröberi m. " with the statement [in translation] " distinguished from the usual type by the fine and even speckling of the abdomen " — a description which could just as readily be applied to Zodion carceli auct. The inconspicuousness or absence of black spots at the bases of the upstanding hairs of the abdomen is an important diagnostic characteristic of Zodion carceli auct., the concept of which is thus not contradicted by Szilády’s brief description of kroeberi. An examination of the type material is no longer possible because the collection of Szilády was destroyed (Papp in litt.). The taxon was not discussed by Kröber to our knowledge, and it was listed by Chvála & Smith (1988) as a synonym of Zodion cinereum (Fabricius, 1794). We therefore propose to consider Zodion kroeberi Szilády, 1926 as a valid species [stat. rev.] and to introduce this name for Zodion carceli auct.	en	Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Clements, David K.
