Gonia ornata var. repudiata Rondani, 1859 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 36. TYPE LOCALITY: “ in agro parmensi [Parmese territory (Italy)]”. TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♂♂, syntypes (one partially eaten by dermestids) (MZUF: Box 9): Gonia Mgn, ♂ / ornata Mgn / 469; 1 ♂, syntype (pinned with a non-type female) (MZUF: Box 9): Gonia Mgn, ♂ / ornata Mgn / 469/ apr. [= April]. CURRENT STATUS: Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993), Cerretti (2010), and O’Hara et al. (2011) did not list it; valid name (Evenhuis & Pape 2020). REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 36) described Gonia repudiata from just the male sex as a variety of Gonia ornata Meigen, 1826, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens. We did not find any specimen under the name Gonia repudiata but we found three males under the name Gonia ornata Meigen, which fit Rondani’s description. We consider the three males as the syntypes of Gonia repudiata.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 321, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
