Goedaert 1662

(1) p. 160, and pl. LXXI: Host caterpillar with 12 legs (= prb. Plusia gamma) [on the host see Vollenhoven 1877: 312], its pupa, 3 tachinid puparia and 3 adult flies (= prb. Phryxe vulgaris) [this remains assumption because the figures do not provide reliable characters]. The parasite larvae left the host pupa in August, the flies emerged on 7^th September.

Goedaert 1669

(2) p. 10, and pl. F: Host caterpillar on cauliflower, pupa and adult moth (= Mamestra brassicae) [on the host see Vollenhoven 1877: 317]. 12 tachinid larvae came out of one caterpillar on 10.IX.1663, they hibernated as puparia, the 12 flies emerged on 2.VII.1664 (= prb. Siphona cristata). — The drawing of the fly is very inexact, but the biological data suggest this determination.

[Merian 1679, see Tschorsnig 2017]
Merian 1683

In some of her pictures of the metamorphoses of Lepidoptera, the paintress has included parasitic flies that had appeared in the rearings. Identification is possible only in one case:

(3) p. 93, Taf. XLVII: Voria ruralis ex Abrostola trigemina. The picture shows the characteristic parallel arrangement of the puparia which are partly covered by the broken host skin. As stated in the text, the caterpillars were feeding on Urtica. [Two host species are figured on Taf. XLVII, A. triplasia L. (syn. trigemina Werneburg) on the left side and A. tripartita on the right side; according to the text on pp. 93, 94 the flies and the puparia belong to the right species.]

Blankaart 1688

(4) p. 76, Pl. IX, fig. L: Parasitic fly (= prb. Huebneria affinis) ex Beir-Rups (= Arctia caja), 8–10 larvae in one host. — Misidentified as Nemoraea sp. by Weijenbergh 1869: 159. Locality prb. Amsterdam.

Albin 1720

(5) On pls. XIII (= Cucullia verbasci), XVII (= Philudoria potatoria), XIX (= Malacosoma neustria), and XXIV (= Spilosoma lutea), the painter has included parasitic flies reared from the caterpillars. — The drawings are inexact, an identification is not possible. Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: 49, states that Albin has figured Echinomyia cuculliae R.D. (= Tachina lurida) bred from C. verbasci, but the fly on pl. XIII looks different, particularly because of the marked stripes on the mesonotum. [Fig. m on pl. XIII gives well the impression of Winthemia quadripustulata which is the most common tachinid of Cucullia verbasci.]

Merian 1730

(6) pls. 26 (= Inachis io), 33 (= Malacosoma neustria), 44 (= Aglais urticae) include parasitic flies besides their hosts. — Identification of the flies is not possible, but they are referred to by De Geer 1776: 25, as Musca minor larvarum. [Pls. 26, 33, and 44 are identical with Taf. 26, 33, 44 of Merian 1679. The fly on pl. 26 is prb. Pelatachina tibialis, concluded from the puparium which has prolongated hind stigmata.]

De Geer 1752

In the German translation by Goeze 1778: 144–146, the names of the host and the parasitic fly are given in Linnean nomenclature in added footnotes. These names are quoted here.

Admiral 1774

(13) On pls. 6 (= Spilosoma lutea), 7 (= noctuid sp.), 17 (= Thecla betulae), 18 (= Dasychira pudibunda), 23 (= Vanessa atalanta), the painter has included parasitic flies reared from the caterpillars. The drawings are inexact, an identification is not possible.

De Geer 1776

(14) p. 24: Musca major larvarum, reference to De Geer 1752: 196–198 (see above, no. 9), the figures of 1752 are reproduced on pl. 1, figs. 6–8. Host species are “plusieurs espèces de chenilles de grandeur médiocre, tant rases que velues”. — The name has been used by De Geer also for other species of similar size and colour (specimens from De Geer's collection sent to me are Sarcophaga spp.).

(15) p. 25: Musca minor larvarum (= more than one species of unknown identity), reference to three plates of Merian 1730 (see no. 6). On p. 26, three host species reared by the author himself are cited: “Chenilles de l'Ortie” (= prb. Aglais urticae), “La hérissonne” (= prb. Arctia caja), and “Celle à piramide charnue sur le dos” (= prb. Sphingidae) [host interpreted as (Amphipyra) pyramidea (Noctuidae) by Goeze 1782: 14 which seems to be more likely].

(16)* p. 38: Musca geniculata n. sp. (= Siphona cristata, not S. geniculata sensu auct.) ex “chenilles brunes et vertes qui se nourissent des feuilles du chou et du tabac” (= prb. Mamestra sp.). Pl. II, figs. 19–23, adult. — The name geniculata has been used by subsequent authors for the most common Siphona species, which is a parasite of Tipulidae larvae. Andersen 1996: 94, has revised De Geer's specimens (in NHRS) and identified them as S. cristata. For the species S. geniculata of authors he proposed the name urbana Harris 1780, but an application to the ICZN has been made to designate a neotype and to conserve the name geniculata sensu auct. [see Opinion 1975].

Figs. 11, 12: adult fly: wing (veins correct, ciliation omitted), head from above. Figs. 5, 7, 10 show the same stages in natural size. — Cited by Schrank 1781: 478, as Musca resinellae n. sp., see no. 19. The name Actia nudibasis Stein has been used for this species until now [and is also used in the present paper by Herting].

Schrank 1781

(18) p. 462: Musca larvarum (= Exorista larvarum, or misid.) ex Sphinx (= Zygaena) filipendulae. — A correct determination was not possible at that time, but Exorista larvarum is a common parasite of Zygaena spp.

Locality: prb. Bavaria (D).

Kob 1786

A mass-outbreak of Phalaena Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea) in pine forests in the area of Nürnberg (northern Bavaria, Germany). The second part of the book (pp. 49–58) is written by Panzer, who identified the insects sent to him.

(20) p. 12: Enormous numbers of blackish flies (= prb. Ernestia rudis) appeared simultaneously with the caterpillars of Ph. N. piniperda (= Panolis flammea).

(21) p. 55: Musca fera (prb. misid. = prb. Tachina magnicornis, see the picture on pl. II, fig. 6) ex Ph. N. piniperda (= P. flammea). — The observation on p. 13, that some flies emerge from moth pupae (i. e. from a puparium within an empty moth pupa) probably refers to this species. The record is cited by Linker 1798: 468, and by Bechstein & Scharfenberg 1805, vol. 2: 543, vol. 3: 1004.

Schrank 1803

(22) p. 119: Spinnerlarven-Borstenfliege. Musca erucarum, new name for Musca major larvarum of De Geer 1776: 25 (see nos. 9, 14). — The name is missed out in subsequent revisions and catalogues of Diptera. It must not be confounded with Tachina erucarum Rondani (= Exorista mimula). I consider the reference to the figures of De Geer (which represent Exorista larvarum Linnaeus) as a lectotype designation, so that M. erucarum Schrank becomes a synonym of the latter.

Bechstein & Scharfenberg 1805

(23) vol. 3, pp. 756, 1005: Musca larvarum (misid., identity unknown) parasite (?) of Tortrix hercyniana (= Epinotia tedella). — The host is Pyralis hercyniana Uslar 1798, the name of which has been wrongly used for another species by Treitschke 1830 (see Ratzeburg 1840: 220). It is correctly cited as Coccyx comitana by Rondani 1872a: 149, but wrongly as Olethreutes hercyniana Tr. (= Pseudohermenias abietina) by Bezzi 1907: 335, and subsequent authors. Epinotia tedella is a small host and very rarely attacked by a tachinid, certainly not by a large species like M. (= Exorista) larvarum.

(24) p. 1003: Musca phalaenarum n. sp. (= ?Winthemia quadripustulata) ex Noctua verbasci (= Cucullia verbasci). — The red tip of the abdomen and the host suggest W. quadripustulata, but M. phalaenarum is classified in the group of species with pilose arista. The authors apparently have confounded different species (including Sarcophaga spp.) under this name, which is missed out in subsequent revisions and catalogues of Diptera.

(25) — — M. phalaenarum (identity unknown) ex Geometra grossulariata (= Abraxas grossulariata). — See preceding comment.

(26) p. 1004: Musca fera (= Tachina fera, or misid. = T. magnicornis) ex Königskerzeneule (= Cucullia verbasci).

Locality: Germany.

Fischer 1821

(27) Musca larvarum (misid.) and Musca erucarum (= tachinid spp. of unknown identity) ex Tenthredo pini (= Diprion pini), Baden (SW Germany). — These two names were available at that time for any species with black and grey colour. Musca (= Exorista) larvarum in its established sense is not a parasite of Tenthredinoidea. M. erucarum Schrank (see no. 22) is a nomen dubium et oblitum and must not be confounded with Tachina erucarum Rondani (= Exorista mimula), which is quite a different species.

Klauprecht 1821

(28) Musca larvarum, M. phalaenarum and M. erucarum (= tachinid spp. of unknown identity) ex Tenthredo juniperi (misid. = Neodiprion sertifer), Aschaffenburg on Main (D). — Musca phalaenarum Bechstein & Scharfenberg (no. 24) and M. erucarum Schrank (no. 22) are nomina dubia et oblita. Musca (= Exorista) larvarum in its established sense is not a parasite of Tenthredinoidea. The identification of the host has been rectified by Lauterborn 1928: 234, 243.

Meigen 1824

(29) p. 296: Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum) ex Tinea (= Hyponomeuta) evonymella. — Very unlikely. E. larvarum is not a parasite of Microlepidoptera. The pupa of another host species may have been hidden in the webs of Hyponomeuta. [Meigen's statement “Ich erhielt sie häufig aus den Raupen der Tinea evonymella” indicates that it was rather a misidentification of the tachinid.]

(30) p. 380: Tachina vertiginosa (= Thelymorpha marmorata) ex Bombyx caja (= Arctia caja). Locality: prb. Stolberg (Nordrhein, Germany).

(31) p. 391: Tachina vulgaris (= Phryxe vulgaris) “aus Raupen” (= ex caterpillars, not specified). — The heading which should delimite the species-group with hairy eyes (pp. 388–400) within the section D. a. (pp. 370–400) is missed out. This misprint has caused wrong identifications of T. (P.) vulgaris by Hartig (see no. 100) and Boie (no. 127).

Dufour 1826

(32)* pp. 45–47: Ocyptera cassidae n. sp. (= Dufouria chalybeata) ex Cassida viridis, S France. — See also no. 35. Wrongly synonymized with Labigaster forcipata, a very different species, by Rondani 1873: 143 (Labidigaster uncinatus) and Bezzi 1907: 330 (Dionaea forcipata). The type specimens are in MNHN.

Meigen 1826

(33)* p. 38: Dexia leucozona (= Thelaira leucozona) ex Bombyx (= Arctia) caja, prb. Stolberg (Nordrhein, Germany). — Type specimens in MNHN. Wrongly synonymized with Thelaira nigripes by Bezzi 1907: 435. The three European Thelaira species have been confounded until they were correctly separated by Mesnil 1975: 1337.

(40) p. 138: Tachina pudibunda n. sp. (= prb. Compsilura concinnata) ex Orgyia (= Dasychira) pudibunda. — The species was placed by Gimmerthal 1842: 675, in the genus Phorocera sensu Meigen 1838. Cited as doubtful species in Phorocera by Bezzi 1907: 319.

Locality: Latvia.

Schwägrichen in Hapf 1829

(41) p. 30: Musca larvarum (misid., ?sarcophagid sp.) parasitic(?) on Lyda pratensis (= Acantholyda posticalis), Muskau, Niederlausitz (Sachsen, Germany). Two puparia were found when the host larvae were going into the soil for pupation. The flies emerged eight days later. — A parasitism of Exorista larvarum on sawfly larvae has never been confirmed, but this old record is quoted by Ratzeburg 1844: 75, and (without reference) in subsequent parasite-host lists.

Meigen 1830

(42) p. 368: Tachina affinis (= Huebneria affinis) ex Arctia caja. — Locality prb. Stolberg (Nordrhein, Germany).

Robineau-Desvoidy 1830

(43) p. 28: Phryxe sp. (identity unknown) ex adult Sphinx ligustri, Carcel. No details, no description. — The genus Phryxe sensu Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 included also Masicera spp. (see nos. 58–62).

(44) p. 49: Echinomyia cuculliae n. sp. (= Tachina lurida) ex Cucullia verbasci. — Questionable, because there is hardly a seasonal coincidence between the activity of the flies and the presence of the host larvae. [Herting 1960: 108 cites another record from this host.]

(45) p. 97: Myobia sp. (misid. = prb. Sarcophagidae, Miltogrammatinae) ex “Charansonites enfouis” (= Curculionidae stored in the nest of a Sphecidae), observation by Saint-Fargeau. The fly has not been seen by Robineau-Desvoidy and was tentatively referred by him to the genus Myobia (= Solieria).

(46) p. 107: Latreillia cuculliae n. sp. (= ?Thelymorpha marmorata) ex Cucullia verbasci. — Other Latreillia spp. described by Robineau-Desvoidy are T. marmorata, but this specimen was “avorté” (= misdeveloped). Its identity is therefore questionable.

(47) p. 108: Salia bombycivora n. sp. (= Chaetogena obliquata) ex Bombyx (= Lasiocampa) trifolii.

(48) p. 114: Lydella hydrocampae n. sp. (= prb. Pseudoperichaeta nigrolineata) [also Eumea linearicornis would be possible according to the host] ex Hydrocampa urticalis (= Eurrhypara hortulata). — Lydella sensu Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 is characterized by a long 3^rd antennal joint. The character of the eyes (hairy or bare) is not yet used in this old classification. In 1863(II): 860, L. hydrocampae is quoted but not redescribed because the specimens had been lost. Synonymized with Lydella (= Blondelia) nigripes by Bezzi 1907: 292, but that species has a shorter antenna and has never been confirmed as parasite of E. hortulata.

(49) p. 134: Phorocera prorsae n. sp. (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Vanessa prorsa (= Araschnia levana).

(50) A specimen similar to Ph. prorsae (= C. concinnata) ex Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea.

(56) p. 151: Zaida crataegellae n. sp. (= ?Bactromyia aurulenta) [Scythropia crataegella is unknown as host of B. aurulenta, so it remains doubtful] ex Tinea crataegella (= Scythropia crataegella, Hyponomeutidae). — Bezzi 1907: 283 has cited the parasite as doubtful species in the genus Masicera and the host wrongly as Scoparia crataegella (Pyralidae).

(57) Zaida falculae n. sp. (= prb. Bactromyia aurulenta) ex Platypteryx falcula (= Drepana falcataria). — Cited as doubtful species in the genus Masicera by Bezzi 1907: 283. B. aurulenta frequently parasitizes Drepana spp.

(58) p. 164: Phryxe lasiocampae n. sp. (= Masicera sp., ?M. sphingivora) ex Lasiocampa (= Gastropacha) quercifolia. — Synonymized (?wrongly) with Masicera silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282.

(59) p. 165: Phryxe sphingivora n. sp. (= Masicera sphingivora) ex Sphinx (= Celerio) euphorbiae. — Valid species, wrongly synonymized with Masicera silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282. It has been separated from M. silvatica by Mesnil 1954: 307 under the name M. cuculliae Rob.-Desv.

(60) Phryxe pavoniae n. sp. (= Masicera pavoniae) ex Pavonia major (= Saturnia pyri). 12 parasites came out of one host. — Valid species, wrongly synonymized with Masicera silvatica by Macquart 1834: 286, and Bezzi 1907: 282. It is M. pratensis of Girschner 1899: 179, and subsequent authors, but the true pratensis Meigen is a Blepharipa, not a Masicera.

(61) A species similar to Phryxe pavoniae ex Sphinx (= Celerio) euphorbiae, Dejean. — Described by Robineaudesvoidy 1863(I): 882, as Masicera puparum n. sp. (= prb. M. sphingivora). Wrongly synonymized with M. silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282.

(62) Phryxe bombycivora n. sp. (= Masicera sp.) ex Bombyx (= Lasiocampa) quercus. — Synonymized (wrongly?) with M. silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 281.

(63) p. 166: Phryxe tiphaecola n. sp. (= ?Lydella stabulans) [could as well be L. thompsoni which is also known from this host] ex Nonagria typhae, Boisduval. — According to Robineaudesvoidy 1863(I): 877, more slender than the preceding species. Wrongly synonymized with Masicera silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282.

(64) Phryxe larvicola n. sp. (identity unknown) ex “chrysalide que je crois être celle de Bombyx (= Arctia) caja.” — Cited as doubtful species in the genus Exorista by Bezzi 1907: 251 and as Zenillia larvicola in the Thompson catalogue.

(65) p. 167: Phryxe athaliae n. sp. (= Phryxe vulgaris) ex Arginis athalia (= Melitaea athalia). — Synonymized with P. vulgaris by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 358.

(66) p. 168: Specimens similar to Phryxe velox n. sp. (= prb. P. vulgaris) ex Pieris (= Anthocharis) cardamines. — According to Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 326, P. velox is a “véritable Phryxe”.

(68) S. vanessae n. sp. (= Sturmia bella) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io, Duponchel.

(69) p. 175: Winthemia catocalae n. sp. (= Winthemia sp.) ex Catocala nupta. — Robineau-Desvoidy 1847: 265, repeats the short old description and adds, that the specimen was reared by Laurent and kept in MNHN. Bezzi 1907: 231, has synonymized the species (wrongly?) with Winthemia quadripustulata. See also no. 106.

(70) p. 176: W. vinulae n. sp. (= prb. Winthemia quadripustulata) ex Dicranura (= Cerura) vinula, one small specimen. — Synonymized with Winthemia quadripustulata by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 210. Synonymized with Exorista sanguinolenta (= W. quadripustulata) by Macquart 1849: 358, and cited under that name by Walker 1874: 281.

(71) p. 178: Carcelia puparum (= prb. Carcelia gnava) ex Sericaria (= Dasychira) pudibunda. — Misid. of Musca puparum Fabricius, which is very different (Ernestia). Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 236.

(72) p. 180: C. plusiae n. sp. (= prb. Huebneria affinis) ex Plusia (= Abrostola) asclepiadis. “Cette espèce offre tous les charactères du C. nigripes.” — Both C. nigripes and C. plusiae are transferred by Robineau-Desvoidy 1847: 605 to the genus Huebneria, and in 1863(I): 279, C. nigripes is placed as synonym of H. affinis whilst C. plusiae is omitted. The latter species is cited as doubtful species in the genus Exorista by Bezzi 1907: 253, and as Zenillia plusiae in the Thompson catalogue.

(73) p. 181: C. bombycivora n. sp. (= prb. Senometopia separata) ex Bombyx versicolor (= Endromis versicolora). — S. separata is the only Carcelia-like species that is surely known to parasitize E. versicolora. Bezzi 1907: 235, has wrongly synonymized C. bombycivora with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa.

(74) p. 275: Erigone myophoroidea ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) dispar. — This host record is an addendum to the description of E. myophoroidea n. sp. on p. 67. It is not cited again by the author in 1846: 35, nor in 1863(I): 155, where the species is synonymized with Erigone (= Eurithia) consobrina. Since no Eurithia species has been obtained in subsequent rearings of L. dispar, I consider it as a mistake.

(88) p. 58: Tachina acronyctae n. sp. ex Acronicta rumicis. — The characters of the adult agree with Compsilura concinnata, but the described larva seems to be another species (identity unknown). The host has been wrongly quoted by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 553, as Acronicta megacephala.

(89) Tachina inflexa n. sp. (= Blondelia nigripes) ex Tenthredo grossulariae (misid. = prb. Nematus ribesii). — The short description of the host larva by Bouché 1833: 38, fully agrees with N. ribesii, whereas the larva of the true T. grossulariae Klug (= Ametastegia pallipes Spin.) has different characters (see Enslin 1914: 239).

(90) p. 59: Tachina spinipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea). — The host is probably wrong, this tachinid is a parasite of Forficula.

Hartig & Hartig 1834

(97)* p. 568: Tachina vulgaris (misid. = Phryxe erythrostoma) ex Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri pupae, common. — Hartig 1838b: 295, has described the parasite as Tachina erythrostoma n. sp.

(98) — — (misid. = Blondelia piniariae) ex Geometra piniaria (= Bupalus piniarius) pupae, common. — Described as Tachina piniariae n. sp. by Hartig 1838b: 284.

(99)* — — (misid. = Phryxe nemea) ex Phalaena (= Abraxas) grossulariata larvae. — The specimens in Hartig's collection were labelled by Mik & Wachtl 1895: 245, as Blepharidopsis hartigii n. sp. (see no. 1364).

(100) — — (= Phryxe vulgaris, prb. correct) ex Papilio (= Pieris) brassicae pupae. — In his later studies of tachinids, Hartig has been misled by a misprint in the book of Meigen 1824 (see no. 31). This has caused him to place T. vulgaris wrongly in a group of species with bare eyes, and to the wrong statement that he has never obtained it in rearings (Hartig 1838b: 293).

(101) Tachina concinnata (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri, common.

(102) T. lucorum (misid. = Drino inconspicua) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini. — Hartig 1838b: 287, has described the parasite as Tachina bimaculata n. sp. (= Drino inconspicua) and corrected (p. 291) the previous misidentification.

(103) T. spinipennis (misid. = Actia nudibasis) ex Tortrix pin(et)ana (misid. = Rhyacionia buoliana). — Redetermined by Hartig 1838b: 292, as Tachina pilipennis var. 3 (= Actia nudibasis). The host is cited there as Tortrix pinetana with buoliana in parentheses. The true Tachina spinipennis is Triarthria setipennis, parasite of Forficula.

(105) p. 569: Gonia nervosa (= prb. Gonia ornata) ex Agrotis (= Euxoa) cursoria (prb. misid. = prb. Agrotis vestigialis). Puparium in the host pupa. — The determinations are changed in Hartig 1838b: The host is cited as Agrotis valligera (= A. vestigialis) on pp. 278 and 298, and the parasite as Gonia capitata (prb. misid.) on p. 298.

Locality: Germany. *Specimens preserved in ZSMC.

Macquart 1834

Host records are quoted from preceding literature. There is one lapse which has not been rectified in subsequent parasitehost catalogues.

(106) p. 298: Senometopia meditata Meigen, syn.: Winthemia nobilis Rob.-Desv., ex Catocala nupta. — Misquotation from Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: 175: Winthemia catocalae (not W. nobilis which follows on the same page) ex C. nupta, see no. 69. The host record is correctly quoted in Macquart 1835: 107: Senometopia catocalae with its host and S. meditata, syn. Winthemia nobilis, without host. The synonymy is wrong: Tachina meditata Meigen is not a Winthemia, but Huebneria affinis Fallén (see Herting 1972: 10). The misquoted host record of Macquart 1834 is included in the catalogue of Bezzi 1907: 230 (Winthemia meditata ex Catocala nupta). Mesnil 1949: 74 has wrongly synonymized W. meditata with Nemosturmia (= Timavia) amoena and cited Catocala nupta wrongly as host of the latter species.

Hartig 1837

All nominal tachinid species recorded in this paper are new species described by Hartig in 1838b. Localities in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg (Germany).

Ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) virens, p. 123: (107) Tachina bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua).

Ex L. (= D.) pallidus, p. 131: (108) T. gilva (= Drino gilva) (common), (109) T. inclusa (= Blondelia inclusa) (rare), and (110) T. bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua) (rare).

These records (nos. 107–119) are listed again by Hartig 1838a: 274.

Boie 1838

A paper neglected by tachinologists, so that most of the records are missing in the existing catalogues. Only the hosts of T. viridis (nos. 122–123) and T. pacta (nos. 137–140) which were quoted by Erichson 1839: 373 have become generally known.

(120) p. 241: Siphona geniculata ex grass-devastating larvae of Tipula oleracea (prb. misid. = prb. T. paludosa), many specimens.

(121) Siphona tachinaria (= Siphona sp.) ex Geometra (= Erannis) defoliaria. — Determined as S. cristata by Staeger in Zetterstedt 1849 (no. 322).

(122) Tachina viridis (= Gymnochaeta viridis) ex Noctua airae (= Photedes minima, syn.: Petilampa arcuosa), many specimens.

(123) p. 242: Larvae and pupae of Geometra mensuraria (= Scotopteryx chenopodiata, syn.: Ortholitha limitata) were found together with those of Noctua airae, but whether they also were parasitized by Gymnochaeta viridis was not ascertained.

(124) p. 243: Tachina lateralis (prb. misid. = prb. Thelaira haematodes) ex Bombyx grammica (= Coscinia striata) pupae. — T. lateralis (= Eriothrix rufomaculata) is a very common species, but the only confirmed host of it is a Crambus sp. (Pyralidae) [see above under no. 79].

(125) Tachina tragica (= Elodia morio) ex Tortrix sp. (= an undetermined tortricid).

(126) — — ex Atychia (= Procris) pruni. — The true host may have been a Microlepidoptera larva that was accidentally present in the rearing cage.

(127) Tachina arvensis (misid. = prb. Phryxe vulgaris) ex Papilio (= Aglais) urticae. — A misprint in Meigen 1824: 388, has made the identification of T. (= P.) vulgaris impossible, see no. 31. The true T. arvensis type in coll. Meigen (MNHN) is Platymyia fimbriata, but in coll. Winthem (NHMW) Phryxe vulgaris and P. magnicornis are misid. as T. arvensis (seen by me).

(128) — — (misid. = prb. Phryxe vulgaris or P. nemea) ex Papilio (= Thecla) betulae.

(129) — — (misid. = prb. Phryxe vulgaris) ex Noctua (= Ochropleura) plecta, several specimens.

(130) — — (misid. = prb. Phryxe magnicornis) ex Zygaena trifolii.

(131) Tachina vulgaris (misid. = ?Thelymorpha marmorata) [prb. too speculative because T. marmorata is unknown from this host] ex Bombyx lubricipeda (= Spilosoma lutea). — See no. 31. The species must have had the characters of group D. a. in Meigen 1824: 370 (bare eyes and a long third antennal joint).

(132) Tachina ambigua (sensu Meigen = Athrycia curvinervis) ex Noctua perplexa (= Hadena perplexa).

Hartig 1838(a+b) [a = pp. 246–274, b = pp. 275–306]

Hartig worked at the Berlin University before he went to the Academy of Braunschweig in 1838. The remainder of his collection is kept in ZSMC and was revised by Mik & Wachtl 1895. At that time, the species Tachina fera, puparum, nigra, flavescens, janitrix, bicolor, selecta, scutellaris and Gonia capitata were already missing in it.

(142) pp. 260, 281: Tachina fera (prb. misid. = prb. Tachina magnicornis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), very common, puparium in the empty skin of the caterpillars, flies emerged at the end of August. — The colour of legs and antennae, as described by Hartig, agrees better with T. magnicornis than with T. fera. This has already been noticed by Baer 1925: 30.

(143) pp. 260, 281: Tachina puparum (misid. = Ernestia rudis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), numerous, pupation in the soil, emerging after hibernation. — The identity of T. puparum sensu Hartig with Panzeria (= Ernestia) rudis has been ascertained by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I):147, who had received a specimen from Hartig.

(144) p. 281: Tachina fulgens (= Linnaemyia comta or misid. = L. vulpina) “soll in Sphinx pinastri vorkommen” (= is said to occur in Hyloicus pinastri). — A record of unknown origin, cited by Hartig with doubt. The specimen standing in his collection under T. fulgens without further label (not reared from a host?) is a L. vulpina, as already stated by Mik & Wachtl 1895: 218.

(145) p. 282: Tachina nigra n. sp. (= Thelaira haematodes) ex Bombyx (= Arctia) hebe. — Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 802–803, has given a more detailed description of Hartig's specimen and created the genus Phenicellia for it.

(146) Tachina flavescens (= Exorista larvarum) ex Bombyx (= Arctia) caja.

(147) p. 283: Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum, prb. correct) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), one specimen.

(148) — — ex hibernating caterpillars of Bombyx (= Arctia) caja, two thirds of them parasitized. The flies emerged April–May, 6–10 from each host.

(149) — — ex B. (= Leucoma) salicis. Cited also p. 278.

(150) — — ex B. (= Lasiocampa) quercus.

(151) — — ex B. (= Malacosoma) neustria, leg. Muss.

(152) — — ex Orgyia gonostigma (= O. recens).

(153) — — ex Sphinx (= Celerio) galii, 10 larvae out of one host.

(154) — — ex Vanessa (= Nymphalis) polychloros. Cited also p. 278.

(155)* — — ex Noctua (= Ochropleura) praecox. — This single specimen is labelled with the host name, whereas all other specimens standing in Hartig's collection bear no information, see no. 157.

(156) — — not ex Bombyx (= Dendrolimus) pini, and not ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, although very large numbers of these two host species were reared. — Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 963, has misread this negative statement as a positive one, and has wrongly included both species in the host list of Tachina larvarum with reference to Hartig.

(157)* Besides the labelled specimen cited here under no. 155, there are 1 ♂, 1 ♀ Exorista larvarum and 5 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀ E. fasciata standing without label under the name T. larvarum in Hartig's collection. The preferred hosts of E. fasciata among forest Lepidoptera are Dendrolimus pini and Lymantria monacha. Hartig has not recorded his T. larvarum from either of these two host species, but Ratzeburg obtained it from L. monacha in the following years. He called it T. larvarum in 1841 (no. 210c), but T. monachae n. sp. in 1844 (no. 233). The latter is prb. E. fasciata, at least in part. The unlabelled series in coll. Hartig could have been bred from L. monacha after 1838, and there are also two specimens of the specific Lymantria-parasite Parasetigena silvestris (seen by Mik & Wachtl 1895: 247, as Duponchelia segregata, and by me) in coll. Hartig.

(158)* p. 284: Tachina piniariae n. sp. (= Blondelia piniariae) ex Geometra piniaria (= Bupalus piniarius). Cited also p. 262.

(159) — — (misid. = Blondelia nigripes) ex Geometra (= Abraxas) grossulariata. — Other specimens ex A. grossulariata in coll. Hartig are Phryxe nemea (see no. 99), but the description of T. piniariae excludes a confoundation with Phryxe. In outer morphology, B. nigripes and B. piniariae cannot be separated.

(160)* pp. 285, 279: Tachina simulans (misid. = Blondelia inclusa ♂) ex Lophyrus variegatus (prb. misid. = prb. Diprion frutetorum, see no. 113), and (161) ex L. (= D.) pini. — The true T. simulans is Exorista mimula.

(162)* pp. 286, 279: Tachina inclusa n. sp. (= Blondelia inclusa ♀) ex Lophyrus variegatus (prb. misid. = prb. Diprion frutetorum, see no. 113), (163) L. (= D.) pini, (164) L. (= D.) laricis, and (165) L. (= D.) pallidus.

(166)* p. 287: Tachina bimaculata n. sp. (= Drino inconspicua) ex Bombyx (= Dendrolimus) pini. Flies ex hibernated host caterpillars emerged in June, those from later collected caterpillars in August and September. p. 256: in small numbers.

(167) — — ex B. (= Lymantria) monacha. p. 259: in very small numbers.

(168) — — ex B. (= L.) dispar.

(169) — — ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea). Flies emerged in late July. p. 260: less common than Tachina fera (magnicornis) and Ernestia rudis.

(170)* — — ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, most common.

(171) — — ex L. rufus (= Neodiprion sertifer).

(172) — — ex L. (= Diprion) similis.

(173) — — ex L. (= D.) virens.

(174) — — ex L. (= D.) pallidus.

(175)* pp. 289, 287: Tachina gilva n. sp. (= Drino gilva) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pallidus.

(176) — — ex L. (= D.) laricis.

(177) p. 287: — — ex L. variegatus (prb. misid. = prb. Diprion frutetorum). — Hartig 1837, no. 114, has recorded T. bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua), not gilva, from this host.

(178)* pp. 290, 279: Tachina janitrix n. sp. (= Diplostichus janitrix) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) frutetorum. Puparium inside the host cocoon, the fly emerging through a preformed lid in the cocoon wall in early August.

(179) p. 290: Tachina affinis (= Huebneria affinis) ex Euprepia (= Arctia) caja. The flies emerged mid July.

(180)* p. 291: Tachina lucorum (misid. = Carcelia laxifrons) ex Laria (= Leucoma) salicis.

(181) — — (— = —) ex Laria (= Lymantria) dispar, feeding together with L. salicis on Salix and Populus. — Very questionable, because a parasitism of C. laxifrons on L. dispar has never been confirmed.

(182) to nos. 180–181: In Hartig's collection, only specimens of Carcelia laxifrons are standing under the name Tachina lucorum, but he states that the flies emerged from the puparia 2–4 weeks after the larvae had left the host. This does not correspond with the one-year life-cycle of C. laxifrons and indicates that another species (prb. Carcelia gnava) was also present in the rearing. Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 221, had received a specimen from Hartig (ex L. salicis) and found it identical with specimens that he himself had reared from Dasychira pudibunda. These were almost certainly Carcelia gnava, see no. 435.

(183) to nos. 180–181: Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 567, have listed these two host records under Parexorista lucorum with reference to Z. K. M. III, 78 (= Brauer 1883a: 78, where Hartig is cited). Bezzi 1907: 234 and 236, has synonymized Parexorista lucorum B.B. with Carcelia cheloniae (= C. lucorum), and Sisyropa lucorum B.B. with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa, but he misplaced the hosts of P. lucorum from Brauer & Bergenstamm's list (including the records of Hartig) in the host list of C. (= S.) excisa. Mik & Wachtl 1895: 230, misidentified the specimens in Hartig's collection (which are Carcelia laxifrons) as Parexorista comata, and that is quoted by Bezzi 1907: 240 (Exorista comata), with the two hosts. In Bezzi's catalogue, the records of Hartig are thus cited twice in wrong places. The true comata Rondani is C. lucorum.

(184)* p. 292: Tachina pilipennis var. 3 (= Actia nudibasis) ex Tortrix resinana (= Petrova resinella). Cited also p. 268.

(185)* — — (= — —) ex Tortrix pinetana (misid. = Rhyacionia buoliana). — Hartig has added buoliana in parentheses to the host name, and in 1838a: 267, he has used only the name Tortrix buoliana. The true T. pinetana is Olethreutes schulziana, which is therefore, but wrongly, cited as host of Actia pilipennis by Bezzi 1907: 390.

(186) Tachina bicolor (= Ceromyia bicolor) ex Bombyx (= Lasiocampa) quercus. The flies emerged in mid June.

(187) p. 293: Tachina selecta (misid. = Peribaea fissicornis, 1 ♂) ex Geometra piniaria (= Bupalus piniarius) caterpillar. Pupation in the soil, emerging 14 days later. The splitting of the 3^rd antennal joint is mentioned. — The biological data on p. 262 apply only to T. (= Blondelia) piniariae.

(188) Tachina vertiginosa (= Thelymorpha marmorata) ex Bombyx (= Arctia) caja, emerging of the fly in beginning of July.

(189) Tachina scutellaris (misid. = prb. Masicera sphingivora) ex Sphinx (= Mimas) tiliae pupa, the fly emerging in June of next year. — Wrongly synonymized with Masicera pavoniae by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 880, and with M. silvatica by Mik & Wachtl 1895: 232, and Bezzi 1907: 282.

(190)* p. 294: Tachina auronitens (= Frontina laeta) ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) castrensis, 25^th July. — The host must be wrong, because F. laeta has a one year life-cycle with flight period in July–September, whereas the larvae of M. castrensis are feeding in May–June.

(191)* p. 295: Tachina erythrostoma n. sp. (= Phryxe erythrostoma) ex hibernated pupae of Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri, 2–13 from one host, common in host samples collected in four different provinces. Puparium in the soil. Cited also on p. 269.

(192) — — not ex Bombyx (= Dendrolimus) pini, not a single specimen reared from many thousands of host larvae. — This negative statement has been misunderstood by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 319 (Hemithaea erythrostoma), as a positive record, and the wrong host has been cited in subsequent literature.

(193)* p. 296: Tachina tenthredinum n. sp. (= Bessa selecta) ex tenthredinid larvae on Salix and Fraxinus.

(194) Tachina concinnata (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Pontia (= Pieris) brassicae, (195) Noctua (= Acronicta) tridens,

(198) p. 298: Gonia capitata (prb. misid. = prb. Gonia ornata) ex Noctua (= Ochropleura) praecox.

(199) — — (— = —) ex Agrotis valligera (= A. vestigialis). Puparium in the empty host pupa, emerging in 1^st half of May. Cited also on p. 278, the parasite as Gonia nervosa (see also Hartig & Hartig 1834: no. 105).

Localities in Germany (not specified).

Dufour & Perris 1840

(200) p. 12: Senometopia spinipennis (misid.) ex Osmia tridentata, SW France. — The parasite larvae found inside the nest cells of this host were probably Sarcophagidae (Miltogrammatinae). Tachina spinipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) is a parasite of Forficula.

Ratzeburg 1840

The collection of Ratzeburg at Eberswalde has been destroyed during the war, but some specimens that he had given to Hartig are preserved in ZSMC.

(201) p. 98: Tachina bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) monacha, rare.

(202) p. 125: Tachina ochracea n. sp. (= Zenillia libatrix) ex B. (= Thaumetopoea) processionea, Rheinland and Westfalen. — Wrongly synonymized with Myxexorista grisella (= Zenillia dolosa) by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 563.

(203)* Tachina processioneae n. sp. (= Pales processioneae, syn. P. opulenta Herting) ex B. (= Th.) processionea, Rheinland and Westfalen (on label: Köln). — Mik & Wachtl 1895: 238, have confounded this species with Phorocera cilipeda (= Pales pavida) and wrongly used Phorocera processioneae as valid name of the latter. Stein 1924: 66, has wrongly used the name processioneae in the genus Carcelia for a variety (parafacials bare) of C. iliaca, because the two species were confounded in Ratzeburg's collection at Eberswalde. Details see Herting 1990: 2.

(204)* Tachina iliaca n. sp. (= Carcelia iliaca) ex B. (= Th.) processionea, Rheinland and Westfalen.

Roser 1840

(207)* p. 57: Tachina ephippium n. sp. (= Tachina lurida) ex Sphinx euphorbiae (misid. = Orthosia cruda). — The empty pupa of the host, which included the empty puparium of the parasite, is pinned together with the fly. I am grateful to the specialist J. Patočka, Zvolen (Slovakia), for the correct determination.

(208) T. vulgaris (misid. = ?Zaira cinerea) ex Procrustes (= Carabus) coriaceus. — Two unlabelled specimens of Z. cinerea are in the collection, but there is no indication that they have been reared. The species could have been misidentified as T. vulgaris because of a misprint in the paper of Meigen 1824, see no. 31.

(209)* p. 57: Tachina atramentaria (= Stevenia atramentaria, Rhinophoridae) ex Oniscus asellus (misid. = Trachelipus brandti, det. Schmalfuss). — The empty skin of the parasitized isopod is pinned together with the fly.

Localities in Württemberg (SW Germany). Specimens in SMNS.

Ratzeburg 1841

(210a) Taf. I, fig. 9, text p. 8: Tachina laevigata (misid. = Ernestia rudis) very common ex “Eulenpuppen” (= pupae of Panolis flammea). — Cited by Ratzeburg 1844, p. 171, as Tachina glabrata (no. 220).

(210b) Taf. I, fig. 10, text p. 8: Tachina fera (prb. misid. = Tachina magnicornis) [the narrow frons and the narrow abdominal stripe equals the true T. fera] ex Nonne (= Lymantria monacha). — See no. 218.

(210c) p. 69, footnote: Tachina larvarum (= Exorista fasciata or E. larvarum) ex Nonne (= Lymantria monacha), East Germany. From 500 full-grown host larvae, 44 flies were obtained after a short pupal period, from 75 puparia the flies did not emerge. — The latter were prb. Parasetigena silvestris, which remains in diapause until the next spring.

Audouin 1842

(211) p. 194: Musca hortorum (misid. = Nemorilla sp., prb. N. maculosa) ex Pyralis vitana (= Sparganothis pilleriana), Mâconnais (Saône-et-Loire, France). When the host larva began spinning the cocoon, it was killed by the internal parasite. — Audouin refers to Musca hortorum in Meigen 1826: 73, which is Morellia hortorum Fallén, a non-parasitic Muscidae. The picture of the fly (pl. 19, fig. 5) shows clearly a Nemorilla. Cited by Mayet 1890: 219 as Tachina hortorum Meigen, a combination which does not exist as nominal species. Wrongly synonymized with Eristalis tenax var. hortorum Meigen (Syrphidae) by Leonardi 1925: 28, and 1928: 143.

Wahlberg 1842

(212) p. 235: Gonia fasciata (= Gonia picea) pursued a flying Bombus terrestris. This observation is included in a report on the sarcophagid Miltogramma oestraceum, which follows its host Megilla retusa (= Anthophora retusa, Hym. Apidae) to the entrance of the nest and larviposits on it. — Wrongly quoted by Zetterstedt 1849: 3252, as Gonia fasciata ovipositing on M. retusa. Also misquoted by Schiner 1862: 441, who wrongly states that Wahlberg had found the larvae of Gonia fasciata in the nests of B. terrestris and M. retusa.

Heyden 1843

(213) p. 209: Gymnosoma rotundata [only “Gymnosoma” is stated, not “rotundata”] (possibly misid. = Gymnosoma sp.) ex Pentatoma sp. (= pentatomid indet.). Locality prb. near Frankfurt/Main.

Passerini 1844

(215)* p. 123: Musca larvarum (misid. = Linnaemyia lithosiophaga) ex Lithosia (= Eilema) caniola, Firenze (= Florence, Italy). From 40 host pupae more than 20 flies and only 6 moths were obtained. — Rondani 1859 (no. 388), has described the parasite from this rearing as Micropalpus lithosiophagus n. sp., specimens in MZUF.

Ratzeburg 1844

The author uses the generic names Tachina and Gonia only as subgenera of Musca. The collection of R. at Eberswalde has been destroyed during the war, but some specimens that he had given to Hartig are preserved in ZSMC.

(216) p. 166: Tachina concinnata (= Compsilura concinnata) ovipositing on two larvae of Sphinx (= prb. Hyloicus pinastri), observed by Bouché [recorded as reared from Sphinx pinastri by Bouché 1833, 1834].

(221) p. 172: Tachina flaviceps n. sp. (= Ceromyia flaviceps) ex Kienraupen (= Dendrolimus pini), mid July, in numbers. — The species is missing in the catalogue of Bezzi 1907. Stein 1924: 134, has seen it in Ratzeburg's collection, he assumed that it was unpublished and described it with the same species name as Actia flaviceps n. sp.

(222) Tachina hartigii n. sp. (= Goniocera versicolor) ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) neustria. — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 351, as doubtful species in the genus Tachina. On the identity see Herting 1982: 8.

(223) Tachina pilipennis (misid. = Actia nudibasis) ex Tortrix (= Rhyacionia) buoliana, very common. Fig. 4A on Taf. X shows the characteristic wing of Actia nudibasis (vein r1 ciliate only in its apical third), fig. 4T the puparium.

(224) — — (— = —) ex Tortrix resinana (= Petrova resinella), very common.

(227) Tachina evonymellae n. sp. (= Bactromyia aurulenta) ex Tinea (= Hyponomeuta) evonymella, July. — Host on Prunus padus, see Ratzeburg 1840: 249.

(228) Tachina setipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) ex T. (= H.) evonymella, Bouché. — The true host was probably a Forficula.

(229) Tachina simulans (misid. = Blondelia inclusa ♂) ex Tenthredo (= Diprion) pini, hibernated cocoons. [Also Tenthredo (= Gilpinia) variegata is recorded as host.]

(230) p. 173: Tachina inclusa (= Blondelia inclusa ♀) ex different Lophyrus (= Diprion spp., including D. pini), mid July.

(231)* Tachina angusticornis n. sp. (= Baumhaueria goniaeformis) ex Bombyx (= Eriogaster) lanestris. — A specimen is preserved in coll. Hartig. The species was tentatively synonymized with Thelymorpha vertiginosa (= Th. marmorata) by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 575, and this wrong synonymy has been quoted by Lederer 1925: 23.

(232) Tachina larvincola n. sp. (= prb. Exorista larvarum) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) dispar. — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 352, as doubtful species in the genus Tachina. See also no. 1303.

(233) Tachina monachae n. sp. (= Exorista fasciata and/or E. larvarum) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) monacha, common, adults emerging in autumn. — This is the species called T. larvarum in Ratzeburg 1841 (no. 210c). Cited by Bezzi 1907: 352 as doubtful species in the genus Tachina.

(234) — — (= prb. Exorista larvarum) ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) neustria.

(235) — — (= — —) ex B. (= Lymantria) dispar.

(236) Tachina neustriae n. sp. (= ?Thelymorpha marmorata) ex Malacosoma neustria. The host is not mentioned, but the species name refers to it. — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 352, as doubtful species in the genus Tachina.

(237) Tachina piniariae (= Blondelia piniariae) ex Geometra piniaria (= Bupalus piniarius), solitary, hibernating as larva in the host pupa.

(238)* p. 174: Tachina pinivorae n. sp. (= Blondelia nigripes) ex Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) pinivora. — 1 ♂ in Hartig's collection. [Blondelia pinivorae is a valid species, see Bergström & Bystrowski 2011, the specimen in ZSMC (now lectotype) is a female according to these authors.]

(239) Tachina crassiseta n. sp. (= prb. Masicera sphingivora) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) dispar, Graff. — The species is missing in the catalogue of Bezzi 1907. Stein 1924: 92, has seen the specimen and identified it as Masicera silvatica. The male of M. silvatica sensu Stein has two pairs of proclinate orbital bristles (= M. sphingivora).

(240) Tachina erythrostoma (= Phryxe erythrostoma) ex Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri, common, hibernating in the host pupa.

(241) Tachina lucorum (misid. = prb. Carcelia gnava) ex Bombyx (= Leucoma) salicis, common. — The description (arista thickened in basal half) agrees better with C. gnava than with other Carcelia spp.

(242) Tachina ruficrus n. sp. (= unknown sp.) ex Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri, Graff. — The species is missing in the catalogue of Bezzi 1907.

(243) Tachina ochracea (= Zenillia libatrix) ex Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea, common, Lödderitz (near Dessau, Sachsen).

(244) p. 174 and fig. 7 on Taf. X: Gonia piniperdae n. sp. (= prb. Gonia picea) ex hibernated pupae of Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea). — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 353, as doubtful species in the genus Tachina. Baer 1921: 363 (reprint p. 143), recognized its probable identity with Gonia fasciata (= G. picea). The host record is questionable, because some pupae of Cerapteryx graminis, the normal host of G. picea, may have been collected together with the Panolis-pupae.

(245) p. 175: Musca quinquevittata (= Agria affinis, Sarcophagidae) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) monacha and B. (= L.) dispar, very common. — Described as Sarcophaga quinquevittata n. sp. by Hartig 1838b: 303, Host: Bombyx (= Dendrolimus) pini. Wrongly placed in the genus Tachina by Rondani 1872a: 163, 335, and misspelled “Tachina quinquevitalata Hrtg.” in the parasite list of Porthetria (= Lymantria) dispar by Fernald in Forbush & Fernald 1896 (no. 1383).

Localities in Germany (not specified).

Zetterstedt 1844

The collection Zetterstedt is well preserved, but the labels are tiny coloured plates referring only to localities, not to hosts. Specimens pinned together with the puparium were sent to me by courtesy of R. Danielsson. It is likely that the hosts mentioned in the publication belong to these specimens.

(246)* p. 1014: Tachina fasciata (= Exorista fasciata) ex Arctia caja, several specimens, Lund.

(247) p. 1039: Tachina pacta (= Zaira cinerea) ex Carabus violaceus, Staeger, Denmark.

(248) p. 1042: Tachina flavoscutellata n. sp. (= Drino inconspicua) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) sp., Marklin. — The host is wrongly referred to Blepharipa schineri (= flavoscutellata sensu Schiner, not Zetterstedt) by Mesnil 1950: 140.

(249) p. 1078: Tachina erinaceus (prb. misid. = prb. Triarthria setipennis) “in Tephritis pupa parasita e fructu Rosae exclusa …, teste Dahlbom”. — Host certainly wrong. The tephritid living in rose hips is Rhagoletis alternata, but puparia of the Forficula-parasite T. setipennis are often found in small cavities, and the adult of that species has parafacial bristles like Peteina erinaceus. The remark “teste Dahlbohm” may indicate that the specimen was not determined by Zetterstedt.

(250) p. 1089: Tachina grandis n. sp. (= Exorista grandis) ex Bombyx (= Arctia) caja, one specimen, Lund.

(251) — — ex Saturnia pavonula (= S. pavonia), Östergotland, Wahlberg.

(253) p. 1105: Tachina 4-pustulata (?misid. = ?Winthemia cruentata) ex Saturnia carpini (= S. pavonia). — A specimen, pinned together with the puparium, is W. cruentata, but there is no label indicating the host.

(254) p. 1107: Tachina affinis (= Huebneria affinis) ex Saturnia carpini (= S. pavonia), and (255) Arctia caja (common).

(256) p. 1125: Tachina assimilis (= Phorocera assimilis) ex Bombyx pavonella (= Saturnia pavonia). [P. assimilis was never recorded again from this commonly reared host, so prb. misid. or host wrong.]

(257) p. 1127: Tachina lata n. sp. (= Diplostichus janitrix) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, Dahlbom. — Cited as doubtful species in the genus Phorocera by Bezzi 1907: 319. The identity with D. janitrix has been stated by Ringdahl 1934: 269.

(258)* p. 1267: Dexia leucozona (misid. = Thelaira nigripes) ex Chelonia (= Arctia) caja. — Several specimens labelled as D. leucozona, with puparia (host not indicated), are all T. nigripes. [Arctia caja is the typical host of the true Thelaira leucozona, hence it cannot be ruled out the specimens of T. nigripes with puparia might belong to the following host.]

(259) — — (— = —) ex Chelonia lubricipeda (= Spilosoma lutea). — See preceding note.

Verloren 1846

(260) p. 205: Tachina glabrata (misid. = Ernestia rudis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), prov. Utrecht (NL). Further details in Verloren 1847: 131, 133. Up to 73 % of the hosts were parasitized by this tachinid. — Redetermined as Nemoraea strenua (= Ernestia rudis) by Wulp 1869: 141.

Gimmerthal 1847

(261) p. 188: Phorocera assimilis (prb. misid., identity unknown) ex Cossus ligniperda (= C. cossus), Kawall.

Ratzeburg 1847

(263) p. 61: Tachina processioneae (prb. misid. = prb. Carcelia iliaca) ex Gastropacha (= Thaumetopoea) pinivora, Hering. — The lectotype of T. processioneae in ZSMC is a Pales (see no. 203) but the specimens standing under this name in Ratzeburg's collection in Eberswalde and seen by Stein 1924: 67 were all iliaca. R. had described the two species with unreliable characters and confounded them.

Verloren 1847 see Verloren 1846
Boie 1848

(264) p. 338: Tachina rudis, det. Winthem and Staeger (= Ernestia rudis), most common parasite of Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), Holstein (N Germany). In 1846, adults of this tachinid were very abundant, and nearly 100 % of the host larvae were parasitized by it.

(271) p. 125: Nemoraea analis n. sp. (= Winthemia quadripustulata) ex Cucullia verbasci, and (272) Elopia (= Ourapteryx) sambucaria. — (273) to nos. 271–272: N. analis has been wrongly synonymized with Winthemia crassicornis (= W. rufiventris) by Mesnil 1949: 88 and both host records are wrongly cited by him under that species.

Rossi 1848

Reared in Austria by Scheffer (= Sch.), Dorfmeister (= Dfm.) or by the author himself.

(274) p. 46: Echinomyia rubricornis (prb. misid. = prb. Peleteria ferina) ex Euprepia (= Hyphoraia) aulica, Sch. and Rossi. — E. rubricornis Rob.-Desv. has been synonymized with E. (= Tachina) fera, and the host record is therefore cited by Schiner 1862: 425, and in subsequent catalogues under the latter species, but this is probably wrong.

(275) p. 47: Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum) ex Melitaea didyma, and (276) Zygaena filipendulae.

(277) T. morosa (= Drino atropivora) ex Acherontia atropos, puparia agglomerated to a compact disc in the soil. — The original T. morosa Meigen is a species of doubtful identity.

(278) T. bisignata (= Meigenia sp., prb. mutabilis) ex Athalia spinarum (= A. rosae), Heeger. — Another host see no. 267.

(279) T. doris (misid. = Sturmia bella) ex Vanessa cardui, Sch. — The wrong determination was rectified and the host record referred to Argyrophylax pupiphaga (= Sturmia bella) by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 544. The true T. doris is Lydella stabulans, it was incorrectly synonymized with Ceromasia senilis (= Lydella grisescens) by Bezzi 1907: 287. See also no. 2605 (Leonardi 1924: 6).

(280) T. terminalis (identity unknown) ex “Lat.” pyri (= Saturnia pyri). — This record is not quoted by Schiner 1862: 480, and subsequent authors. T. terminalis has been synonymized with Phryxe vulgaris by Bezzi 1907: 275, but the original description of Meigen 1824: 323, does not fit at all with this species.

(281) T. bella (= Sturmia bella) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io.

(282) — — (= S. bella, or misid. = Drino inconspicua) ex Liparis (= Lymantria) dispar, Dfm.

(283) to nos. 281–282: Bezzi 1907: 226, has wrongly synonymized T. bella with Sturmia (= Drino) atropivora and wrongly referred the two hosts Vanessa io and Lymantria dispar to the latter species.

(284) Tachina agilis (= Blondelia nigripes, or misid.) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io, and (285) V. (= Aglais) urticae.

(290) p. 52: Thryptocera spinipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea), Sch. — The true host was prb. a Forficula.

(291) Thryptocera pilipennis (prb. misid. = prb. Actia crassicornis) ex Tinea (= Depressaria) liturella (= D. flavella), Sch.

(292) Thryptocera bicolor (= Ceromyia bicolor, or misid.) ex Ph. mediella (= Morophaga boleti), Sch. — Questionable. The genus name Phalaena for a tineid indicates a very old record, and the host is abnormal for C. bicolor.

(293) p. 53: Frontina vertiginosa (= Thelymorpha marmorata) ex Euprepia (= Arctia) villica.

(301) to nos. 296–300: E. lucorum with reference to Rossi 1848: 54, has been wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 235, and the above mentioned five hosts have been wrongly attributed to that species.

(302) E. albicans (misid., identity unknown) ex Acronicta rumicis, Sch. — This host record is not quoted by Schiner 1862: 467, and subsequent authors.

(303) E. succincta (prb. misid., identity unknown) ex Saturnia carpini (= S. pavonia).

(304) E. apicalis (prb. = Winthemia sp.) ex S. carpini (= S. pavonia). — Mesnil 1949: 74 has wrongly synonymized apicalis with Nemosturmia (= Timavia) amoena and wrongly transferred to that species the hosts listed by Bezzi 1907: 229, under Winthemia apicalis (including this one).

(305) E. libatrix (= Zenillia libatrix) ex Brephos nothum, Dfm.

(310) Herting 1960: 135, has cited Thelaira nigripes ex Arctia caja with reference to Scholtz, but the record was originally published by Meigen 1826, and the parasite was Thelaira leucozona, not T. nigripes (see no. 33).

Apetz 1849

(311) Echinomyia grossa (= Tachina grossa) larvae coming out of a killed female were placed on a Bombyx (= Macrothylacia) rubi caterpillar and bored into it. — Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 577 have cited the host Bombyx (= Lasiocampa) trifolii (no. 84) with wrong reference to Apetz.

(329)* p. 164: Carcelia arion (misid. = Carcelia rasa) ex Orgyia antiqua (B.d.Ch.), and (330) Orgyia (= Dasychira) pudibunda (Berce). — (331) to nos. 329–330: The description of these two specimens differs from the original description of C. arion Robineau-Desvoidy 1847: 275. They were therefore named Carcelia amphion n. sp. (= C. rasa) by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I), see nos. 446–447. The true C. arion is prb. C. puberula. Both C. arion and C. amphion were wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 235.

(332) Carcelia gnava (or misid.?) [this is probably the specimen described by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 237 as C. orgyae, the identification confirmed by Herting, see no. 443] ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) castrensis, B.d.Ch.

(333) C. puparum (misid. = prb. Carcelia gnava) ex Orgyia (= Dasychira) pudibunda, Berce. — Redetermined (but again misid.) as Carcelia lucorum by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 220. Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 236.

(334) p. 166: Hubneria eruceti n. sp. (identity unknown) ex chenille rouleuse du rosier (= tortricid sp. on Rosa). — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 250, without host record as doubtful species in the genus Exorista.

(335) p. 167: H. cuculliae n. sp. (identity unknown) ex Cucullia lychnitis, Guérin. — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 249, as doubtful species in the genus Exorista (in the Thompson catalogue: Zenillia).

(336) p. 168: H. acronita n. sp. (= Nilea hortulana) ex Acronicta megacephala, berce. — Name emended to acronyctae and species designated as type of the new genus Phorcida by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 251. Cited by Bezzi 1907: 247, as doubtful species in the genus Exorista (in the Thompson catalogue: Zenillia acronictae). Confounded with Tachina acronyctae Bouché (= Compsilura concinnata, see no. 88) and host record wrongly listed under Machaira serriventris (= C. concinnata) by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 553, 559.

(337) Zenillia libatrix ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) neustria, B.d.Ch.

(338) p. 169: Z. orgyae n. sp. (= Zenillia libatrix) ex Orgyia (= Dasychira) pudibunda, Berce.

(339)* p. 170: Tachina macroglossae n. sp. (= Exorista larvarum) ex Macroglossa stellatarum, B.d.Ch. — Correctly synonymized with T. (= E.) larvarum by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 962.

(340) p. 171: Erycia vanessae n. sp. (= prb. Masicera pavoniae [Herting 1974a: 25 states — and HPT agrees — that this synonymy would be unlikely because of the untypical host]) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io, Bagriot. — Placed in a separate genus Beraldia by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 906. Wrongly synonymized with Erycia ferruginea (sensu Bezzi, not Meigen = E. fatua) by Bezzi 1907: 297.

(341) p. 172: Phryxe vanessae n. sp. (= Phryxe vulgaris) ex Vanessa (= Aglais) urticae, Guérin.

(342) Phryxe pieridis n. sp. (= P. vulgaris) ex Pieris rapae, Guérin.

(343)* p. 174: Phryxe flavipalpis (= Huebneria affinis) ex Chelonia civica (= Hyphoraia testudinaria), B.d.CH. — Placed in a separate genus Celea by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 273 (see no. 452). Cited by Bezzi 1907: 250, as doubtful species in the genus Exorista (in the Thompson catalogue: Zenillia).

(344) Sur les Phorocères. — The following seven “new species” have been synonymized with Doria (= Compsilura) concinnata by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 536, under the collective denomination “Phorocera varia” (p. 174 misprinted “p. 134″), and all host records (nos. 345–351) are included in the text of D. concinnata (p. 537). Bezzi 1907: 310 misunderstood the collective name and, under the synonyms of C. concinnata, cited “Phorocera varia” with reference to “Robineau-Desvoidy 1850: 134″ (but the paper of 1850 does not contain this name). Moreover, he wrongly synonymized four of the seven species with Phorocera assimilis Fallén.

(345) p. 175: Phorocera orthalidis n. sp. (= Compsilura concinnata) ex “Ortalis” (= Orthosia) stabilis, B.d.Ch. — Ortalis is a genus of Diptera which does not contain a species named stabilis. The host is cited by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 537, correctly as Orthosia stabilis. The parasite is wrongly synonymized with Phorocera assimilis by Bezzi 1907: 316.

(346) p. 176: P. orgyae n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Orgya (= Dasychira) pudibunda, BERCE. — Wrongly synonymized with P. assimilis by Bezzi 1907: 316.

(347) p. 177: P. cuculliae n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Cucullia verbasci, BERCE. — Wrongly synonymized with P. assimilis by Bezzi 1907: 316.

(348) p. 178: P. bercei n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea, Berce. — Wrongly synonymized with P. assimilis by Bezzi 1907: 316.

(349) p. 179: P. guerini n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Noctua rumicis (= Acronicta rumicis), Guérin.

(350) p. 180: P. pieridis n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Pieris brassicae, Guérin.

(351) p. 181: P. pusilla n. sp. (= C. concinnata) ex Pieris rapae, Guérin.

Boheman 1851

(352) p. 154: Tachina setipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) ex Forficula auricularia. There is a preceding note (Boheman 1850: 214) on this rearing, but the parasite was then in the pupal stage and not yet identified. The puparium was formed in August, the fly emerged in May of the following year. Locality: Sweden.

Dufour 1851

(353)* p. 63: Hyalomyia dispar n. sp. (= Rondania dispar, in MNHN) ex adult Brachyderes lusitanicus, SW France. Further details see Dufour 1852 (no. 364). — Wrongly synonymized with H. (= Phasia, syn.: Alophora) pusilla by Rondani 1872c (no. 632) and Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 542. Wrongly placed in the genus Tamiclea (= Strongygaster) by Bezzi 1907: 568.

Lambert 1851, Robineau-Desvoidy 1851a

(354) Rhinomyia lamberti n. sp. (= Perichaeta unicolor) ex adult Chrysomela (= Chrysolina) graminis, 7–8 of ca. 300 hosts parasitized, Saumur (Maine-et-Loire, France). Lambert: rearing (parasite undetermined). Robineau-Desvoidy: description of R. lamberti. — Wrongly synonymized with Rhinophora lepida (Rhinophoridae) by Séguy 1950: 452.

(355) Robineau-Desvoidy, p. XXVII: Parasitic fly (= ?Zaira cinerea) trapped in the anus of an adult Carabus splendens, when leaving the dead host, only head visible, Pyrénées, Guérin- Méneville.

Robineau-Desvoidy 1851b

Rearings by Goureau. Locality: Yonne (France). *in MNHN.

(356) p. 148: Carcelia puparum (= prb. Carcelia lucorum) ex Arctia (= Phragmatobia) fuliginosa. — Redetermined as C. lucorum by Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): 221. Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 236.

(357) p. 149: Carcelia apicalis n. sp. (tibiae almost wholly black = prb. Huebneria affinis) ex Arctia (= Phragmatobia) fuliginosa. — Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 235.

(358)* Thryptocera flavisquamis n. sp. (= Actia pilipennis) ex tortricid on Ulmus.

(359) p. 151: Gouraldia pupivora n. sp. (= ?Eumea linearicornis ♀) ex Tortrix laevigana (= Archips rosana). — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 284, as doubtful species in the genus Masicera, with the following species as synonym.

(360) p. 152: Gouraldia binotata n. sp. (= the male of the preceding species) ex Tortrix laevigana (= A. rosana). — Cited by Goureau 1861: 199, as Metopia bisignata (n. comb. and misspelling, see no. 397).

(361) Elophoria gouraldi n. sp. (= prb. Bessa parallela) [listed as doubtful taxon under Eumea in Herting & Delydraskovits 1993: 226] ex Tortrix laevigana (= Archips rosana). — Cited by Goureau 1861: 199, as Senometopia gouraldi. Bezzi 1907: 319, has wrongly synonymized it with Elophoria myoidea Rob.-Desv. which he placed as doubtful species in the genus Phorocera. Cited with the same name (P. myioidea) under the host Cacoecia rosana by Baer 1921: 405 (reprint p. 185). In the Thompson catalogue, the species is confounded with Masicera (= Lydella) myoidea Rob.-Desv. sensu Coquillett 1897: 114 and wrongly synonymized with Lydella grisescens.

(362) p. 153: Phorocera flavifrons n. sp. (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Pieris rapae.

(363) P. hadenae n. sp. (= prb. Compsilura concinnata) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae. — Wrongly synonymized with Phorocera assimilis by Bezzi 1907: 316.

Dufour 1852

(364)* p. 443: Hyalomyia dispar (= Rondania dispar, in MNHN) ex Brachyderes lusitanicus, SW France. Further details on the parasite host relation. Pl. 8, III, figs. 1–3, larva (3^rd or 2^nd stage) and puparium. — See also no. 353.

Goureau 1852

(365) p. LXXX: Erythrocera scutellata (= Eurysthaea scutellaris) ex Hyponomeuta malinella. — The observed predacious Diptera larvae in the webs of the host do not belong to this tachinid, but to the sarcophagid Agria mamillata Pand.

Perris 1852

(366) p. 202: Masicera atropicida n. sp. (= Drino atropivora) ex Sphinx (= Acherontia) atropos, SW France.

Smith 1852

(367) p. 82: Tachina nitidula (misid. = Billaea irrorata) ex Saperda populnea, Hampstead (GB). A very high percentage of hosts was parasitized. — The few biological observations agree with B. irrorata.

Newport 1853

Rearings in Britain.

(368) p. 248: Metopia forficulae n. sp. (= prb. Triarthria setipennis) ex common earwig (= Forficula auricularia).

(369) Exorista larvarum (prb. misid. = prb. Exorista grandis) ex Saturnia Pavonia minor (= S. pavonia), 1–10 parasite pupae in one host cocoon.

Robineau-Desvoidy 1853

Rearings by Moret, Auxerre (Yonne, F).

(370) p. 533: Carcelia bombycivora (misid. = prb. Carcelia gnava) ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) neustria. The description of C. bombycivora 1847, p. 280, is repeated here. — According to Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I), p. 229, his use of the name in 1847 was wrong and concerned the new species C. laevigata, but this rearing is not mentioned. Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907.

(371) p. 534: Hubneria flavescens (= prb. Nemorilla sp.) [= nomen dubium in Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 445; Nemorilla would be a guess] ex nymphe d'une pyrale qui roule les feuilles du rosier. — Cited by Bezzi 1907: 250, as doubtful species in the genus Exorista. The host is cited by him as “Pyralis sp.”, but the name “pyrale” is used in French not only for Pyralidae, but also for Tortricidae.

(372)* p. 535: Tachina moreti n. sp. (= Exorista larvarum, in MNHN) ex Bombyx (= Lymantria) dispar. — An aberrant specimen with distinctly hairy eyes. This character has mislead Mesnil 1960: 600, to introduce the name Exorista fasciata var. moreti for the species E. segregata Rondani.

Bachmann 1855

(373) p. 12: Echinomyia grossa (= Tachina grossa) ex Gastropacha (= Macrothylacia) rubi, Insterburg (East Prussia, now Chernyakhovsk, Russia).

Goureau 1855

(374) p. XXXV: Eurygaster pomariorum n. sp., nomen nudum (= Eurysthaea scutellaris) ex Hyponomeuta spp. — A preliminary note. See the description by Goureau 1861 (no. 398).

Reissig 1855

Function of the ptilinum during the emergence of the adult fly from the puparium.

(375) p. 190: Tachina gilva (= Drino gilva) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini.

(376) T. pilipennis (misid. = Actia nudibasis) ex Tortrix resinana (= Petrova resinella).

(377) T. flaviceps (Ceromyia flaviceps, prb. misid.) ex Eulenpuppen (= noctuid pupae).

(378) T. fera (prb. misid. = prb. Tachina magnicornis) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea).

(379) T. bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini.

Reissig was a forester in Darmstadt (Hessen, Germany).

Wulp & Vollenhoven 1856

Localities in the Netherlands. *Specimens in ZMAN.

(380) p. 93: Nemoraea glabrata (misid. = Ernestia rudis) ex Trachea piniperda (= Panolis flammea), Verloren (see no. 260) and Vollenhoven. — Redetermined as Nemoraea strenua (= Ernestia rudis) by Wulp 1869: 141.

(381)* Senometopia lucorum (misid. = Carcelia gnava, 1 ♀, pers. comm. by T. Zeegers) ex Bombyx (= Malacosoma) neustria or B. (= Lymantria) monacha, Graaf. — Carcelia gnava is a common parasite of M. neustria, which is therefore the probable host.

(382) Eurigaster vulgaris (prb. misid. = ?Carcelia gnava) ex Orgyia (= Dasychira) pudibunda, Wulp. — It is likely that this specimen has been redetermined and recorded by Wulp & Meijere 1898: 81, as Exorista lucorum (misid., see no. 1421). The host record is cited by Baer 1921: 117 (reprint p. 151) under Phryxe vulgaris.

(383) p. 94: Masicera bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua) ex Noctua piniperda (= Panolis flammea) or Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, Vollenhoven.

(384) Tachina tibialis (= Pelatachina tibialis) ex Vanessa (= Aglais) urticae, Empe, Van Eyndhoven.

(385)* T. trepida (misid. = Athrycia impressa, det. T. Zeegers and confirmed by me) ex pupa of Anarta myrtilli, Empe, Eyndh.

Barthélémy 1857

(386) p. 111: Senometopia atropivora (= Drino atropivora, or misid. = Drino galii) parasite of Sphinx (= Celerio) euphorbiae, Dep. Aude, S France. — A misidentification of Masicera or Winthemia is excluded, because the observed attack of the fly (riding on the host and rapidly distributing larvae on it) is different.

Goureau 1857

(387) p. XXIX: Degeeria flavicans n. sp., nomen nudum (= prb. Bessa selecta) ex Nematus ribis (= N. ribesii). — A preliminary note. See the description by Goureau 1861 (no. 394).

Rondani 1859

Rearings in Italy. *in MZUF.

(388)* p. 67: Micropalpus lithosiophagus n. sp. (= Linnaemyia lithosiophaga) ex Lithosia (= Eilema) caniola, Passerini (no. 215) and Rondani.

(389)* p. 138: Exorista cheloniae n. sp. (= Carcelia lucorum) ex Chelonia (= Arctia) caja.

(390) p. 164: Phorocera polleniella n. sp. (= Clemelis pullata) ex undetermined geometrid.

Zetterstedt 1859

(391) p. 6077: Tachina trepida (= Athrycia sp.) ex Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, Sweden. — Very unlikely. A parasitization of Diprion by this or a related genus has never been confirmed.

Bigot 1860

(392)* p. 783: Exorista lateralis n. sp. (= 1 ♀ Carcelia lucorum, in OXUM) ex Emydia coscinia (= Coscinia cribraria), Bellier De La Chavignerie, Sicily.

Castellani 1860

(393) pp. 139–148: Fly (= prb. Exorista sorbillans) common parasite of the domestic silkworm (= Bombyx mori) in China. White eggs glued on the skin of the host, primary respiratory opening surrounded by a black spot. — Guérin-Méneville 1870: 180, has proposed the name Tachina castellanii (nomen nudum) for this fly. Wrongly synonymized with Sturmia (= Blepharipa) sericariae by Bezzi 1907: 225.

Goureau 1861

(394) p. 156: Degeeria flavicans n. sp. (= prb. Bessa selecta), parasite of Nematus ribis (= N. ribesii). — See no. 387.

(395) p. 173: Sturmia atropivora (= Drino atropivora, or misid. = Masicera pavoniae) [oviposition on the host, so — if correctly observed by Goureau — not M. pavoniae] ex Saturnia pyri, 17 parasites ex 1 host larva.

(396) p. 189: Masicera flavicans n. sp. (= Cyzenis albicans) ex Cheimatobia (= Operophthera) brumata. — The description and the biological data (puparium inside the host pupa, fly emerges in april) leave no doubt about the identity.

(397) p. 199: Metopia bisignata (new combination and misspelling of Gouraldia binotata Rob.-Desv. = ?Eumea linearicornis) ex Tortrix laevigana (= Archips rosana). — See Robineau- Desvoidy 1851b (no. 360). The name Metopia bisignata is also quoted by Rondani 1873: 23. Leonardi 1925: 30, and 1928: 147 confounded Metopia bisignata with Meigenia bisignata and wrongly listed the latter species (= Meigenia mutabilis) as parasite of Cacoecia (= Archips) rosana.

(398) p. 218: Eurigaster pomariorum n. sp. (= Eurysthaea scutellaris), parasite of Hyponomeuta malinella. — See no. 374. Goureau has wrongly associated the reared adults of this tachinid with the predacious larvae of the sarcophagid Agria mamillata in the webs of the host. E. pomariorum is wrongly synonymized with Prosopodes fugax (= Bessa parallela) by Bezzi 1907: 299, see no. 1398.

(399) p. 284: Tachina hadenae n. sp. (= prb. Exorista larvarum) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae.

(400) p. 289: Tachina micans n. sp. (= Voria ruralis) ex Plusia gamma. The parallel arrangement of the puparia partially covered by the broken host skin is described. — Wrongly cited by Leonardi 1928: 153, as Tachina micans Macquart, which is a senior homonym and a different species (identity unknown).

Kaltenbach 1861

(401) p. 234: Dilita nigra Förster (nomen nudum = prb. Phytomyptera nigrina) ex Pterophorus microdactylus (= Adaina microdactyla) in stems of Eupatorium, several specimens. — A description of the tachinid has not been published, and Förster 1869: 340 has used the same generic name in correct spelling for a new genus and species (Dilyta subclavata) in Cynipidae, Alloxystinae. He states in a footnote, that the name Dilyta means “twice open” and refers to the wing venation (radial cell open on two sides). The tachinid genus Phytomyptera is likewise characterized by two open cells (absence of two cross-veins) in the wing. See also Kaltenbach 1874: 320.

Kirchner 1861

(402) p. 104: Tachina erythrostoma (= Phryxe erythrostoma) ex Sphinx (= Hyloicus) pinastri, Kaplitz (= Kaplice, Bohemia).

Laboulbène 1861

(403)* p. 232: Tachina villica (= Exorista larvarum) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae, France. Figs. 1–8: 3^rd instar larva. Figs. 9–12: puparium. Figs. 13–18: adult. p. 247: specimens deposited in the collection Bigot (in OXUM, including two small individuals determined by Bigot as Tachina flaviceps Macquart). — Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 552, 583, have cited the host wrongly as Arctia villica and the parasite wrongly as Eutachina villicae Laboulbène. T. villica was described by Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: 188 (no host).

Landois 1861

(404) p. 211: Tachinid eggs (= prb. Winthemia cruentata) found on larvae of Ligusterschwärmer (= Sphinx ligustri), 20–30, even ca.100 on the individual host.

(405) — — (= prb. Exorista larvarum) on larvae of Ringelspinner (= Malacosoma neustria), 5–10 eggs on the individual host. Locality: Münster, Westfalen (D).

Rondani 1861

Rearings in Italy. *in MZUF.

(406) p. 15: Blepharipa atropivora (= Drino atropivora) ex Sphinx (= Acherontia) atropos.

(407) p. 21: Masicera silvatica (prb. misid. = prb. Masicera pavoniae) ex Saturnia pyri.

(408)* p. 33: Roeselia yponomeutae n. sp. (= Eurysthaea scutellaris) ex Hyponomeuta cognatella.

(409) p. 159: Macherea serriventris n. sp. (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io.

(410) p. 162: Masicera gyrovaga (prb. misid. = prb. Drino inconspicua) ex Tenthredo (= Diprion) pini, Passerini. — M. gyrovaga is Drino vicina, parasite of Sphingidae.

Goureau 1862

(411) Siphona geniculata (misid. = prb. Siphona cristata) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae. 2 specimens developed in one host larva together with parasitic Hymenoptera: 16 Eulophus ramicornis and 1 ichneumonid. The adult tachinid emerged from the hibernated puparia on 12^th June. — Cited also by Goureau 1863: 120.

Schiner 1862

The majority of the hosts cited in this book are quoted from the literature, and the reference is given in some, but not in all cases. The following records, except the nos. 415–417, are original.

(412)* p. 422: Gymnopeza denudata (misid. = Eugymnopeza braueri, in NHMW) ex Carabus scheidleri, Tacchetti, no locality — On label: Ex Carabus, 5 May 55. Tacchetti's domicile in 1855 was Breno in the Italian Alps N of Brescia. but he could have collected the host also in the Vienna area.

(413) p. 443: Gonia flaviceps (= Onychogonia flaviceps) ex Noctua (= Mamestra) glauca, Schneider, Silesia.

(414) p. 452: Nemoraea xanthogastra (prb. misid. = prb. Winthemia cruentata) ex Sphinx ligustri, Egger.

(415) p. 462: Exorista lucorum ex Chelonia (= Arctia) villica, Endromis versicolora, Arctia hebe, A. (= Phragmatobia) fuliginosa, A. caja, Liparis (= Leucoma) salicis, and L. (= Lymantria) dispar. — The first five hosts are quoted from Rossi 1848, nos. 296–300 (without reference), the last two from Hartig 1838b, nos. 180–181 (the reference to Ratzeburg in L. dispar is wrong). Mesnil 1944: 42 has synonymized E. lucorum sensu Schiner (not Meigen) with Carcelia excavata (= Carcelia gnava). This is correct only for the record from Leucoma salicis (see no. 182), but wrong in all other cases. Mesnil inadvertently missed out Arctia villica.

(416) p. 474: Tachina rustica (= Exorista rustica) ex L. (= Leucoma) salicis, B. (= Lasiocampa) quercus, B. (= Malacosoma) neustria and Vanessa (= Nymphalis) polychloros. No reference. — Misquotation from Ratzeburg 1844: 171, who lists the four hosts in the same sequence under Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum), with reference to Hartig 1838b (nos. 149–151, 154). There is no host at all mentioned by Schiner under T. larvarum. Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894, have cited these four hosts correctly under Eutachina larvarum (pp. 552–553) and not under Chaetotachina rustica (p. 548), but in the lists of Bezzi 1907, Baer 1921, and subsequent authors, they are found under both parasite species. Exorista rustica is a parasite of Tenthredinidae, not of Lepidoptera.

(417) p. 481, footnote: Tachina pinivorae (= Blondelia nigripes) ex Liparis (= Lymantria) dispar. — Misquotation from Ratzeburg 1844: 174, who reared this parasite species from Thaumetopoea pinivora (no. 238). The error has been rectified by Baer 1921: 157 (reprint p. 123).

(418) p. 483: Masicera pratensis (misid.? = Masicera sp.) ex Gastropacha (= Philudoria) potatoria.

(419) — — (prb. misid. = prb. Masicera sphingivora) ex Smerinthus populi.

(420) — — (= Masicera pavoniae) ex Saturnia pyri.

(421) M. silvatica (prb. misid. = prb. Masicera pavoniae) ex Saturnia spini.

(422) — — (— = —) ex Saturnia pyri.

(423) p. 519: Thryptocera bicolor (= Ceromyia bicolor) ex Bombyx (= Lasiocampa) quercus, in coll. Schiner.

(428) p. 106: Hydrotachina limnephili (nomen nudum, identity unknown) from a larva-case of Limnephilus marmoratus (Trichoptera), Exeter (GB), Parfitt. The fly had emerged through the water. — A parasitism of a tachinid on a species of Trichoptera has never been confirmed, and it is quite possible that the fly came from a puparium that was hidden in a plant piece or snail shell forming part of the case.

Phryxe caudata), fly found on a nest of “Bombyx processionea L. du Pin” (= Thaumetopoea pityocampa) on the dunes of Hyères (Côte d'Azur). — The description of the fly by Robineau-Desvoidy is insufficient, and the only indication of its identity is the probable host species Th. pityocampa. Rondani 1872a, c: 163, 334, placed the species in the genus Tachina and wrongly interpreted the host as Lasiocampa (= Dendrolimus) pini. André 1879: 68, quoted Rondani, but misunderstood the host name as Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini. Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 570 (Phryxe erucastri) cited the host wrongly as Cnethocampa (= Thaumetopoea) processionea and inadvertently listed on p. 576 under the name Tachina erucastri also the misquotations by Rondani (ex Lasiocampa pini) and André (ex Lophyrus pini). Bezzi 1907: 271, has wrongly synonymized Phryxe erucastri with P. vulgaris and wrongly cited Th. processionea and Dendrolimus pini as host of the latter species.

(= C.) concinnata on p. 536 (those of 1850 under the collective name “Phorocera varia” see nos. 344–351), and their hosts are included in the list on p. 537.

New host records of Doria (= Compsilura) concinnata: (481) Smerinthus populi (Robineau-Desvoidy), (482) Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea (Robineau-Desvoidy) [= prb. no. 50], (483) Arctia (= Spilosoma) menthastri (Guérin), (484) Hadena (= Trachea) atriplicis (B.d.Ch.), (485) Catocala promissa (B.d.Ch.), (486) Vanessa (= Araschnia) levana (B.d.Ch.), (487) V.

(491) p. 556: Salia echinura (= Chaetogena obliquata) ex Saturnia pyri, B.d.Ch. — This record is questionable because the larval period of the host hardly coincides with the flight period of C. obliquata.

(492)* p. 567: Goedartia [original spelling = Gaedartia, cf. Herting 1974a: 16] praecox n. sp. (= Campylochaeta praecox) ex Thyatira batis, B.d.Ch. — Synonymized with G. tibialis R.D. by Bezzi 1907: 320, and cited under that name as a doubtful species in the genus Phorocera.

(493)* p. 722: Peribaea minuta n. sp. (= Peribaea tibialis) ex Ophiusa (= Lygephila) pastinum, B.d.Ch. — Wrongly synonymized with Actia (= Peribaea) apicalis by Bezzi 1907: 386. The name P. minuta has been introduced by Andersen 1996: 70 as valid name for P. apicalis sensu Herting, but the bred specimen is the holotype (revised by me in MNHN) and is clearly a female of P. tibialis.

(494) p. 757: Baumhaueria cuculliae n. sp. (identity unknown) ex Cucullia scrophulariae, B.d.Ch. — This and the following species have been synonymized with Baumhaueria goniaeformis by Bezzi 1907: 358, but the larval period of the host does not coincide with the flight period (April–May) of B. goniaeformis.

(495) p. 758: B. saturniae n. sp. (identity unknown) ex Saturnia pyri, B.d.Ch. — See the preceding note.

Lozère. — Bezzi 1907: 375, has (?wrongly) synonymized the parasite with Wagneria fasciata Robineau-Desvoidy (= Ramonda spathulata).

(499) p. 794: Wagneria luperinae n. sp. [= nomen dubium in Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 449] (= ?Wagneria gagatea) [no reasons given for this assumption; W. gagatea has a single generation in spring, so “éclose en Juin” would be unlikely for this species] ex Luperina “aurea” (prb. rurea = Apamea crenata) [Ramonda spathulata is known to be reared from this host species], B.d.Ch. — Bezzi 1907: 374, has wrongly synonymized the parasite with Wagneria costata, and wrongly cited the host as Plusia deaurata.

(500)* p. 810: Ateria nitida n. sp. (= Ramonda prunaria) ex Noctua (= Caradrina) alsines (B.d.Ch.), and (501)* Xanthia ferruginea (= Agrochola circellaris) (Berce). — (502) to nos. 500–501: A. nitida Rob.-Desv. has been wrongly synonymized with Wagneria (= Periscepsia) carbonaria Panzer by Audcent 1942: 10, and Emden 1954: 39, and the two hosts are thus referred to the wrong parasite species.

(503) p. 829: Voria ruralis abundant on Urtica and assumed to be parasite of Vanessa atalanta. Not reared. — Wrongly cited by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 570, and Bezzi 1907: 370, as valid host record.

(504) p. 831: Athrycia erythrocera (= Athrycia curvinervis or A. impressa) [prb. misid.; the true A. erythrocera is listed as synonym of A. trepida in Herting 1984: 153 (the reasons for it are given in Herting 1974a: 23)] ex Cucullia lucifuga Esp. (= C. umbratica), B.d.Ch. — The flight period of Athrycia trepida does not coincide with the seasonal occurrence of the host larvae. The host is wrongly cited as Cucullia lucifuga Hübner by Bezzi 1907: 371 (under Paraplagia ruficornis).

(505) p. 879: Masicera cuculliae n. sp. (= Masicera sphingivora) ex Cucullia verbasci, Robineau-Desvoidy. — Wrongly synonymized with M. silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282.

(506) p. 881: Masicera pavoniae ex Saturnia pyri, B.d.Ch. and Moret.

(507) p. 882: M. puparum n. sp. (= prb. Masicera sphingivora) ex Deilephila (= Celerio) euphorbiae, Berce and Robineau- Desvoidy. — Wrongly synonymized with M. silvatica by Bezzi 1907: 282.

(508) p. 889: Sturmia vanessae (= Sturmia bella) ex Vanessa (= Inachis) io (B.d.Ch. [see no. 328] and Berce), (509) Bombyx (= Trichiura) crataegi (B.d.Ch.), (510) Argynnis sp. (Berce), (511) Vanessa atalanta (B.d.Ch. and Robineau-Desvoidy), and (512) V. prorsa (= Araschnia levana) (Robineau-Desvoidy).

(513) p. 890: Sturmia scutellata (= Blepharipa pratensis), several rearings from Acherontia atropos, no collector name. — Questionable, confounded in the manuscript with the following species?

(514) p. 891: S. atropivora (= Drino atropivora) often bred from Acherontia atropos.

(515) p. 892: Sturmia lophyri. The name is intended to replace Tachina simulans sensu Hartig (misid. of simulans Meigen), and the two hosts of T. simulans recorded by Hartig 1838b: 285, nos. 159–160 are cited by Robineau-Desvoidy as hosts of S. lophyri. — In the sample which Robineau-Desvoidy obtained from Hartig, the specimens of T. simulans were, by mistake, labelled Tachina bimaculata (see Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(II): 44, Schaumia), and the true T. bimaculata (= Drino inconspicua) were labelled T. simulans. The species described from Hartig's sample as Sturmia lophyri on p. 892 is therefore Drino inconspicua. Rondani 1873: 220, and André 1879: 68, have cited it as Masicera lophyri. The listed hosts, however, belong to Blondelia inclusa.

(516) p. 963: Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae, B.d.Ch.

(517) — — ex Lasiocampa (= Dendrolimus) pini and Lophyrus (= Diprion) pini, Hartig. — Wrong quotation, misreading of Hartig 1838b: 283, who states that T. (= E.) larvarum has not been bred from these two hosts (see no. 156). Dendrolimus pini is parasitized by E. fasciata or larvarum (though not observed by Hartig), but Diprion pini is not a host of either species. The misquotation has never been rectified, and is included in the parasite lists of Rondani 1873: 220 (with ?), André 1879: 68, Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 552, Bezzi 1907: 335, and others.

(518)* p. 971: Tachina festinata n. sp. (= Exorista grandis) ex Saturnia pyri (on the label: spini), B.d.Ch. — Wrongly synonymized with T. larvarum (= Exorista larvarum) by Bezzi 1907: 336.

(519)* Tachina marginalis n. sp. (= Masicera pavoniae) ex Saturnia pyri, B.d.Ch., 3 ♂♂. — Wrongly synonymized with T. (= Exorista) larvarum by Bezzi 1907: 337.

(520) vol. II, p. 42: Spinolia inclusa (= Blondelia inclusa) ex Lophyrus abietis, Hartig. — The cited host name is a mistake, it was L. (= Diprion) laricis (no. 164).

(521) vol. II, p. 191: Gymnosoma rotundata (= Gymnosoma sp.) ex pentatomid sp.

(522) vol. II, pp. 855–868: The host-parasite list is compiled from the data in the full text, but two apparent mistakes have slipped into it (and from there into the list of Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 559, 553, and subsequent catalogues):

(522a) vol. II, p. 857: Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) pityocampa, parasitized by Doria concinnata (= Compsilura concinnata). — The correct host cited in vol. I, p. 537, is Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea, see no. 482.

(522b) vol. II, p. 859: Deilephila (= Celerio) euphorbiae, parasitized by Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum). — The correct host is D. (= C.) galii, cited in vol. I, p. 963, with reference to Hartig (see no. 153).

(540)* Medoria pullula (misid. = Anthomyiopsis plagioderae, det. Z., Rmnh) ex Plagiodera armoraciae (= P. versicolora), Voorst, Wtt. — M. pullula is Anthomyiopsis nigrisquamata. A. plagioderae (= Ptilopsina nitens sensu Villeneuve) has been confounded with it by Herting 1960: 117.

Becker 1864

(541) p. 478: Tachina sp. (misid. = prb. Blaesoxipha gladiatrix, Sarcophagidae) common parasite of Caloptenus (= Calliptamus) italicus, Saratov prov., Russia. The mature larva bores out through the neck of the grasshopper. — This behaviour agrees with the biology of B. gladiatrix as described by Léonide 1961: 150 (Blaesoxipha laticornis sensu auct. = B. gladiatrix).

Fallou 1864

(542) p. 680: Thryptocera infantula, det. Bigot (misid.), ex Chelonia (= Orodemnias) cervini, Gornergrat near Zermatt (Wallis, CH). — It is not impossible that this is the same specimen that Bigot has described later as Germaria cervini n. sp., see no. 710 (= Onychogonia cervini). Germaria was the first genus cited in the section Thryptoceratae Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: 82, which were reduced to generic status by Macquart 1834: 310, under the name Thryptocera.

Girard 1864, see Guérin-Méneville 1863
Millière 1864

(543) p. 385, pl. 46: Morinia bigoti n. sp. (= Actia pilipennis) ex Tortrix (= Cacoecimorpha) pronubana, S France. Determined by Bigot as an undescribed Morinia sp.

Boie 1865

(544) p. 242: Tachinid sp. similar to Nemoraea rubrica (= Winthemia cruentata) ex Sphinx ligustri, Germany. Between 16 and 27 eggs were found on each of three host larvae. The total number of flies reared was 30. — Wrongly cited as host record under N. rubrica (= N. pellucida) by Bezzi 1907: 223. Nemoraea is excluded because it is ovolarviparous.

Butler 1865

(545) p. 45: Tachina consobrina (prb. misid., identity unknown) ex Saturnia pavonia pupa, 1 specimen only. — Wrongly interpreted as a case of “non-destructive” parasitism. Although the parasite required only a small quantity of substance, the host died, and that prb. not, as the author believed, because of desiccation.

Desbrochers 1865

(546) p. XLIII: Eight puparia of a Dipterous parasite (= more likely a scavenger, ?Sarcophaga sp.) in the thorax of Procrustes (= Carabus) coriaceus, France. — The tachinid Zaira cinerea (parasite of adult Carabidae) pupates in the abdomen of the host.

Roo Van Westmaas 1865

(547) p. 14: Phorocera concinnata (= Compsilura concinnata) ex Bombyx (= Samia) cynthia. — Cited also by Wulp 1869: 153. Locality: Velp (NL).

Löw 1866

(548) p. 948: Nemoraea quadripustulata (= Winthemia quadripustulata or misid. = W. cruentata) ex Sphinx ligustri, one specimen.

(549) Phorocera unicolor (misid. = prb. Myxexoristops stolida) ex Croesus laticrus (= C. septentrionalis), one per host. Nearly all hosts were parasitized. — The misidentification could have been possible, if the pruinosity of the reared flies had become fatty so that their body was entirely black. M. stolida is the typical parasite of gregarious larvae of Nematinae, whereas Perichaeta unicolor parasitizes adult Chrysomelidae.

(550) Masicera sylvatica (prb. misid. = prb. Masicera pavoniae) ex Saturnia pyri.

Localities in the Netherlands.

Goureau 1867

A paper not consulted by tachinologists, except Rondani 1877/78. All new species described by Goureau are missed out in Bezzi 1907, but the host records of the other species are quoted there from Rondani (l. c.).

(555) p. 123: Tachina tremulina n. sp. (= Billaea irrorata) ex Saperda populnea. The species is described as a Tachina, although it has a pubescent arista as mentioned in the description.

(556) p. 126: Exorista dubia (misid. = Meigenia sp.) ex Chrysomela (= Melasoma) populi. — The characters mentioned (bare eyes, body colour) and the date of adult emergence (middle of August) do not fit at all with E. (= Lypha) dubia. This wrong parasite record has been quoted by Rondani and all subsequent host catalogues, except Audcent 1942: 11, who confounded Mela soma populi (Col. Chrysomelidae) with Poecilocampa populi (Lep. Lasiocampidae). Emden 1954: 42 did not realize the confusion and listed both wrong host species under Lypha dubia.

(557) p. 131: Masicera proxima (misid. = Meigenia sp., prb. M. uncinata) ex Galeruca (= Agelastica) alni. — The description (discal bristles on the abdomen) does not fit with Masicera proxima (= Zaira cinerea).

(558) p. 185: Masicera media n. sp. (= ?Myxexoristops stolida) ex Nematus pavidus. — The description is insufficient, but M. stolida is the normal parasite of this and other Nematinae. M. media Goureau is a junior homonym of Masicera media Macquart 1850 and thus an invalid name. The species of Macquart is a synonym of Zaira cinerea.

Locality: Dep. Yonne (France).

Jeffery 1867

(560)* p. 284: Exorista aemula, det. Bigot (= Ethilla aemula) ex Nemoria aureliaria (= Eucrostes beryllaria) on Phillyrea angustifolia, Cannes (Côte d'Azur, France), nearly 90 % of host larvae parasitized. — This old host record has been overlooked until now. Two specimens are preserved in the collection Bigot in OXUM, they are not labelled as to origin and host, but the puparium pinned together with the fly indicates that they were bred. I am grateful to C. O'Toole for the loan that has enabled me to confirm the determination.

Blanchard 1868

(561) p. 654: Gymnosoma rotundata (or misid. = Gymnosoma sp.) parasite of Pentatoma grisea (= Rhaphigaster nebulosa), Künckel. Figure on p. 653: adult fly, 3^rd stage larva, free and in the host (with respiratory funnel), puparium. Further details see Künckel D'Herculais 1879 (no. 693).

Charault 1868

(562) p. 691: Eurigaster sp. (misid. = ?Compsilura concinnata) ex Liparis (= Lymantria) dispar, Le Mans (France). — In a subsequent paper (Charault 1869) this or another parasite of L. dispar is stated to be C. concinnata (no. 565).

Millière 1868

(563) p. 32, Pl. 104: Echinomyia fera (= Tachina fera) ex Xylocampa lithorhiza (= X. areola). The picture of the fly shows the black median stripe not reaching the end of the abdomen. (564) — — ex Polyphaenis sericina (= P. sericata).

(573) — — (= prb. Phryxe vulgaris) ex Cucullia verbasci, Haarlem, Boogaard.

(574) E. fimbriata (prb. misid. = prb. Phryxe nemea) ex Geometra (= Semiothisa) wauaria, Haarlem, Boogaard. — P. nemea has been determined by Wulp as E. fimbriata in no. 661 (Weijenbergh 1874), and the same misidentification has probably occurred in the present case.

(575) E. excisa (prb. misid. = prb. Zenillia libatrix) ex Bombyx (= Thaumetopoea) processionea, Voorst, Wttewaall. — This specimen is apparently lost, but Zeegers concluded the probable identity with Z. libatrix from other misidentifications by Wulp.

(576) E. lucorum (prb. misid., identity unknown) ex Sphinx ligustri, GAV. — Wrongly synonymized with Carcelia (= Senometopia) excisa by Bezzi 1907: 235.

(579) E. affinis (= Huebneria affinis, or misid.) ex Psyche (= Pachythelia) villosella, Oosterbeek, Bakker. — The host is atypical for H. affinis.

(580)* p. 153: Meigenia bisignata (= Meigenia mutabilis, 1 ♂, genitals prepared) ex Athalia spinarum (= A. rosae), Voorst, Voll. — This specimen was found by Z. in LEWA and sent to me for determination.

(581) Tachina larvarum (= Exorista larvarum, prb. correct) ex Papilio machaon (Fr.), and (582) Acronicta rumicis (Fr.).

(583)* T. vidua (misid. = Exorista fasciata, in RMNH, det. Z.) ex Bombyx (= Macrothylacia) rubi, Gav.

(593) T. setipennis (= Triarthria setipennis) ex Notodonta (= Pheosia) tremula, Fr. — The true host was prb. a Forficula.

(594) Macquartia nitida (misid. or host wrong) ex Botys verticalis (= Sylepta ruralis), Gav. — M. nitida is M. tenebricosa, a parasite of chrysomelid larvae. Wrongly synonymized with Macquartia chalconota by Bezzi 1907: 405.

(595)* Degeeria parallela (misid. = Bessa selecta, det. Z.) ex Nematus virescens (= N. bergmanni), Voorst, Voll. — Cited by Wulp & Meijere 1898: 87, as Degeeria fascinans and by Meijere 1907: 192 as Ptychomyia selecta. The host has been wrongly synonymized with Nematus miliaris by André 1879: 183, and both names (virescens and miliaris) are cited as different host species by Bezzi 1907: 301.

(596) — — (prb. misid. = prb. Bessa selecta) ex Selandria sericans (= Pareophora plana), Voll.

Description of the larva. — The adult is described by Cornalia in the same volume, p. 217, with 22 inexact figures. Host: filugello (= B. mori). U. sericariae has been wrongly synonymized with Blepharipoda (= Blepharipa) zebina by Mesnil 1950: 145.

Ex Chrysomela (= Chrysolina) varians, p. 842:

(604) Macquartia nitida (= Macquartia tenebricosa). — Wrongly synonymized with Macquartia chalconota by Bezzi 1907: 405.

(605) M. praefica (prb. misid.). — It is possible that the two sexes of M. tenebricosa have been determined as two different species.

(606) Macquartia trimaculata (misid. = Meigenia sp.). — The parasite has been redetermined by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 562, as Meigenia bisignata.

Roebuck 1872

(610) — — (— = —) ex Liparis auriflua (= Euproctis similis). — Wrong host? From the text it may be assumed that the two host species were kept together in a mixed rearing, and the parasite was (wrongly) attributed to both.

(611) to nos. 609–610: The true T. properans is Erycia fatua ( ferruginea sensu Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 556, and Bezzi 1907: 295, not Meigen). The two hosts have been wrongly referred to this species in the literature.

Rondani 1872(a, c)

A parasite catalogue, mainly compiled from the literature. No references are given. New records are marked as “obs. n.” or “oss.n.”.

(614) p. 148: Myobia aurea (= Leskia aurea) ex Cnethocampa (= Thaumetopoea) processionea and C. (= Th.) pityocampa. Not marked as “obs. n.” — Apparently quoted from Robineau-Desvoidy( I) 1863: Zenillia aurea (= Zenillia libatrix) ex Bombyx processionea (no. 472) and wrongly synonymized. In the parasite-host list (pp. 321–337) Myobia aurea is not mentioned, but Exorista (= Zenillia) libatrix is cited on p. 324 with C. processionea as one of its hosts. In the host-parasite list (p. 148), E. libatrix is missing among the parasites of C. processionea, and Myobia aurea is cited instead. Leskia aurea is a parasite of Sesiidae.

(615) Tachina bellierella Desv. ex Cnethocampa (= Thaumetopoea) pityocampa. — Wrongly quoted from Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I): not Phryxe bellierella, see no. 466, but Phryxe berceella, see no. 467 (= Phryxe caudata). Tachina (Phryxe) bellierella Desv. (= Phryxe vulgaris) is cited by Rondani on p. 164 correctly under its host Leucania albipuncta.

(616) Tachina bellierella Desv. ex C. (= Th.) processionea. — Not identical with the preceding species. This is Pales bellierella Rob.-Desv. (= Pales processioneae), see no. 477. In the parasitehost list on p. 333, Rondani has confounded the three species Phryxe bellierella, Phryxe berceella, and Pales bellierella under the name Tachina bellierella Desv., citing Cnethocampa and Leucania as host genera. The entry of Leucania sp. as host of Pales bellierella in the list of Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 566, is a result of this confusion.

(617) Exorista crassiseta Rond. (= Carcelia iliaca) ex C. (= Th.) processionea. — A correct host record. Not marked as “obs. n.”, but I have not found a record of E. crassiseta (described 1859) from this or another host before 1872.

(618) pp. 156, 327: Masicera bombycivora Desv. ex Endromis versicolora. — Wrongly quoted from Robineau-Desvoidy 1830: not Phryxe (= Masicera) bombycivora, see no. 62, but Carcelia bombycivora, see no. 73 (= prb. Senometopia separata). Rectified by Brauer & Bergenstamm 1894: 560.

(619) pp. 160, 331: Plagia ruralis (= Voria ruralis, or misid.) ex Hadena (= Mamestra) brassicae. — Not marked as new record, but I have not found a preceding publication.

(620) pp. 163, 333: Tachina (= Meigenia) bisignata ex Ilithia carnella F. (= Oncocera semirubella). On p. 333, the host is cited with the generic name Phycis instead of Ilithia. — Wrongly quoted from Heeger 1848, see no. 268. The host was Epischnia (= Gymnancyla) canella Hb. and the parasite very probably misidentified (= prb. Nemorilla sp.).

(621) pp. 163, 334: Tachina erucastri Desv. (= prb. Phryxe caudata) ex Lasiocampa (= Dendrolimus) pini. — Misunderstanding of the text of Robineau-Desvoidy 1863(I), see no. 471: “Bombyx processionea L. du Pin” is Thaumetopoea pityocampa. Bezzi 1907: 271, has wrongly synonymized P. erucastri with Phryxe vulgaris, and (p. 269) wrongly cited Dendrolimus pini as host of the latter species.

(622) pp. 163, 335: Tachina pabulans Fallén ex Lasiocampa (= Dendrolimus) pini. — Misspelling of Musca (= Muscina) pabulorum Fallén, which was recorded from this host by Ratzeburg 1844: 175. A Muscidae, placed in a wrong genus and family.

(623) Tachina parasitica Hrtg. ex L. (= D.) pini. — Described in the genus Musca and recorded from the host L. pini by Hartig 1838b: 301. A muscid species of unknown identity, placed in a wrong genus and family.

(624) Tachina quinquevittata Hrtg. ex L. (= D.) pini, is Sarcophaga quinquevittata as described and recorded from this host by Hartig 1838b: 303 (= Agria affinis, Sarcophagidae). Placed in a wrong genus and family.

(625) Tachina stabulans Fallén ex L. (= D.) pini, is Musca (= Muscina) stabulans, which was recorded from this host by Hartig 1838b: 299. A Muscidae, placed in a wrong genus and family. Omitted on p. 336.

(626) pp. 164, 329: Nemoraea pratensis ex Lasiocampa (= Philudoria) potatoria. — Apparently quoted from Schiner 1862, see no. 418. The genus name Nemoraea is an error, in Rondani's two other citations from Schiner (p. 328: ex Saturnia, ex Smerinthus) it is correctly given as Masicera (= Masicera sp.).

(627) p. 323: Echinomyia fera ex Liparis (= Lymantria) dispar. — The host is wrong. In the host-parasite catalogue (Rondani 1873), E. fera is listed not under L. dispar (p. 164), but correctly under L. monacha (p. 4), as recorded by Ratzeburg 1844, see no. 218. (prb. misid. = prb. Tachina magnicornis).
