Sirfidei - Gen. Xylota a Conops): Syrphus 10-maculatus Rnd., Chili [= Chile] / M. Zool. N° 11261.

REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 12) described Syrphus decemmaculatus from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, from material received from R.A. Philippi, to whom he attributed the species name. Costa (1866: 32) listed a single MZUN specimen (as Syrphus decemmaculatus Phil. R.) numbered “647”. We also found one syntype in this study.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 270, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
