Tephritis diotidis Rondani 1871

Tephritis diotidis Rondani, 1871 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1871b: 12. TYPE LOCALITY: “ in Spanien und im südlichen Frankreich [in Spain and southern France]” (Loew 1862b: 109) [type locality for Tephritis stictica Loew, 1862]. TYPE MATERIAL: see Remarks. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Tephritis stictica Loew, 1862 (Foote 1984: 134, Norrbom et al. 1999: 219). REMARKS: Loew (1862c: 109) described Tephritis stictica from a specimen received from Dufour under the name Tephritis diotidis. Rondani (1871b: 12) suggested using the new substitute name Tephritis diotidis because of the information it gave about the larval biology. Tephritis diotidis was always considered as a synonym of Tephritis stictica Loew, 1862 (Becker 1905: 141, Hendel 1927: 195, Foote 1984: 134, Norrbom et al. 1999: 219). The type material for Tephritis diotidis will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e., Tephritis stictica.Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 375, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
