New synonyms and overlooked species-group names in Palaearctic Chloropidae (Diptera, Cyclorrhapha)
E.P. Nartshuk & H. Andersson
Abstract. New synonyms are established based on investigation of types of species described by C.F. Fallén, J.W. Zetterstedt, O. Duba, E.S. Smirnov, and E.P. Nartshuk: Rhopalopterum atricorne (Zetterstedt, 1838) = Rh. platythorax (Nartshuk, 1958), Pseudopachychaeta oscinina (Fallén, 1823) = P. heleocharis (Nartshuk, 1964), Chlorops nigripalpis (Duba, 1933) = Ch. crassipalpis E. Smirnov, 1955, Ch. rufinus (Zetterstedt, 1848) = Ch. citrinellus (Zetterstedt, 1848), Ch. limbatus Meigen, 1830 = Ch. discicornis Zetterstedt, 1848. The synonymy of Ch. taeniopus gotlandica Holmgern, 1887 with Ch. pumilionis (Bjerkander, 1778) is confirmed. The names Ch. discicornis Zetterstedt, 1848 and Ch. taeniopus gotlandica Holmgern, 1887 were overlooked by all or nearly all authors dealing with Chloropidae.
