Siphunculina brevinervis Rondani 1856

Siphunculina brevinervis Rondani, 1856 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 128. TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species. TYPE MATERIAL: 3 ♀♀, 1 specimen, syntypes (sex not determinable, damaged) (MZUF: Box 38): Siphunculina Rndn. / brevinervis Rnd. / 2058; 1 ♀, syntype (slightly moldy, missing left mid-leg) (OUMNH Verrall-Collin Coll.: Box. 18): Type / Siphunculina brevinervis Rond. Ex. Coll. Big. / S. brevinervis Parma, Rond. / G. Siphunculina Rondani. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Siphunculina aenea (Macquart, 1835) (Nartshuk 1984b: 256). REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 128) key for the genus Siphunculina Rondani, 1856 lists Siphunculina brevinervis as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. Five syntypes were found 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 90, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/498062
