CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Pseudogonia rufifrons (Wiedemann, 1803) (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 262, O’Hara et al. 2009: 117, O’Hara & Cerretti 2016: 152, O’Hara et al. 2020: 503). REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 34) described Gonia cinerascens without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens but presumably from more than one specimen because he indicated: “ non rara [not rare]”; he provided specific characters for the male. We found 13 syntypes 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 320, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
