DISTRIBUTION. ��� All the recent and historical records of Sicus in the region, including all of those reliably recorded from mainland India, appear to be from the Himalayas, where indicus is the only species positively recorded to date. NEOTYPE DESIGNATION In order to stabilize the nomenclature, we herewith designate a neotype for Sicus indicus based on a female specimen collected in the Indian Himalayas. The specimen fits with the original description and originates from the same locality as stated for the holotype (���Himalaya���). A female specimen has been designated because currently within the genus Sicus only females can be reliably identified to species level (Stuke 2002). As a result of the present neotype designation, Sicus indicus Kr��ber, 1940 should no longer be treated as a nomen dubium but as a valid species (rev. stat.). DESCRIPTION Female neotype Measurements.

INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION Some variation in body- and wing-length, in male as given above and in female: body-length 10.5-12.5 mm and wing-length 8.1-9.0 mm respectively (n=3). Within-species morphological variation otherwise mainly comprises slight variation in colour characteristics such as the extent of blackish coloration on coxae and trochanters, and brownish marking on male frons. DIAGNOSIS Sicus indicus can be identified by the following set of characters: 1) scattered longer ventral setulae on the hind femora, some of which are equal to or greater than the width of the hind tibia (Fig. 1H); 2) wing-base not obviously much paler than the rest of the wing although it may be somewhat paler at the extreme base (Fig. 1G); 3) small sclerite on the inner posterior side of the hind coxa with 7 - 8 longer setulae, some of which are approaching the apical width of the hind coxa in length (Fig. 1I); 4) scutum in anterior view with a central golden dusting stripe which divides the black medial longitudinal stripe into two black submedial stripes (Fig. 1F); 5) anepisternum (and sometimes anepimeron) shining or subshining medially (Fig. 1E); 6) mediotergite completely or almost completely dusted (Fig. 1D); and 7) female with a broad protruding theca, the width of the posterior bristle field 2.7 �� its height (Fig. 1L), and with the posterior bristle field on the theca being 1.1 - 1.2 �� the width of the bristle field on sternite 6 (Fig. 1M). Of the species so far recorded from the Oriental and adjacent East-Palaearctic regions, the majority can readily be ruled out by the shape and configuration of the theca in the female. Comparison therefore needs to be made primarily with S. chvalai, S. abdominalis and S. ogumae, the theca of the last two species being most similar to that of S. indicus. Sicus indicus differs from these three species in the long ventral setulae on the hind femora, and in the pattern of golden dusting on the scutum. The blackish coxae and trochanters found in some specimens of S. indicus are also quite characteristic but are not a reliable character. The theca of Sicus abdominalis is very similar to that of S. indicus but the former has no setulae on the small sclerite on the inner posterior side of the hind coxa, and the anepisternum and anepimeron are more evenly dusted. Sicus chvalai is readily distinguished by the shape of the theca in the female, the posterior bristle field of which is more nearly semicircular, with its maximum width in posterior view being about 1.7 �� the vertical height. The width of the bristle field on the theca is also about the same as that of the bristle field on sternite 6. The mediotergite is largely shining in S. chvalai. The theca of Sicus ogumae is also somewhat narrower and more nearly semicircular, with the bristle field about 2.4 �� wider than the vertical height, although the difference in shape is less marked than in S. c hvalai. Other less reliable characters which would nevertheless tend to identify S. ogumae include fine scattered black setulae on the gena, a completely dusted anepisternum, unicolourous legs and fewer, shorter black setulae on the inner posterior sclerite of the hind coxa, all of which are less than �� the apical width of the coxa in length (see Stuke et al. 2020). It is not certain that male specimens of S. indicus will necessarily be distinguishable based on characters 1-6 above, although the long ventral setulae on the hind femora are otherwise only shared with S. ferrugineus., Published as part of Maqbool, Amir, Wachkoo, Aijaz Ahmad, Stuke, Jens-Hermann, Akbar, Shahid Ali & Clements, David K., 2021, Neotype designation and redescription of Sicus indicus Kr��ber, 1940 (Diptera: Conopidae), pp. 197-203 in Zoosystema 43 (11) on pages 199-202, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2021v43a11, http://zenodo.org/record/4733929, {"references":["KROBER O. 1940. - Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Conopiden - VI.

Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all extant multicellular European terrestrial and freshwater animals and their geographical distribution at the level of countries and major islands (east of the Urals and excluding the Caucasus region). The Fauna Europaea project comprises about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. Fauna Europaea represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing taxonomic specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many user communities in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education. The Diptera–Brachycera is one of the 58 Fauna Europaea major taxonomic groups, and data have been compiled by a network of 55 specialists. Within the two-winged insects (Diptera), the Brachycera constitute a monophyletic group, which is generally given rank of suborder. The Brachycera may be classified into the probably paraphyletic 'lower brachyceran grade' and the monophyletic Eremoneura. The latter contains the Empidoidea, the Apystomyioidea with a single Nearctic species, and the Cyclorrhapha, which in turn is divided into the paraphyletic 'aschizan grade' and the monophyletic Schizophora. The latter is traditionally divided into the paraphyletic 'acalyptrate grade' and the monophyletic Calyptratae. Our knowledge of the European fauna of Diptera–Brachycera varies tremendously among families, from the reasonably well known hoverflies (Syrphidae) to the extremely poorly known scuttle flies (Phoridae). There has been a steady growth in our knowledge of European Diptera for the last two centuries, with no apparent slow down, but there is a shift towards a larger fraction of the new species being found among the families of the nematoceran grade (lower Diptera), which due to a larger number of small-sized species may be considered as taxonomically more challenging. Most of Europe is highly industrialised and has a high human population density, and the more fertile habitats are extensively cultivated. This has undoubtedly increased the extinction risk for numerous species of brachyceran flies, yet with the recent re-discovery of Thyreophora cynophila (Panzer), there are no known cases of extinction at a European level. However, few national Red Lists have extensive information on Diptera. For the Diptera–Brachycera, data from 96 families containing 11,751 species are included in this paper.

Description: Head: Palp blackish-brown or brown. Black hairs on parafacialia and/or gena always present and often quite long, in most specimens equalling or exceeding length of postpedicel. Thorax: Posterior margin of mesoscutum orange-brown, with fine grey dusting which often extends around the whole of the posterior margin. Katepisternum orange-brown. Underside of scutellum mostly orange-brown, like the upper side. Hairs of mesoscutum long, those at the anterior margin at least half as long as those at the posterior margin. Femora and tibiae usually with darker brownish markings. Wing veins usually weakly margined brownish, sometimes unmargined. Wing length 5.4–8.7mm. Abdomen: Typically blood-red, occasionally orange-brown. Tergite 1 orange-brown at side-margins, the disc with darker coloration which usually extends as far as the posterior margin. Tergite 2 reddish orange-brown, rest of tergites darker reddish-brown. Tergites 3–4 usually only dusted on sides at the posterior margin, especially in ♂♂. In ΨΨ there is usually more extensive dusting along the posterior margin, although this is mainly confined to the depressed posterior marginal area which is bounded-off from the rest of the tergite by an impressed line or crease. Tergite 5 may rarely be dusted on whole length submedially, but is more usually undusted medially on whole length. In ΨΨ there is usually dusting on the depressed posterior margin of tergite 5. Hairs on tergite 6 longer than diameter of hind tibia, occasionally only about as long. In ♂♂ these hairs often as long or longer than hind metatarsus. Genitalia: ♂♂ — Epandrium in side view as shown in Fig. 7, only very slightly expanded ventrally to form a weak vesicle which bears long microtrichia. Angle between anterior margin and underside of epandrium is about rightangled. Posterior surstylus fairly pointed triangular, usually somewhat longer than width at base. Epandrial plate covered with microtrichia. ΨΨ —Sternite 7 as shown in Fig. 14, rather long and somewhat attenuated towards base. Lateral tooth of apical syntergosternite relatively short, about 1.5–1.75 times as long as its width at base (Fig. 21).

The Myopa testacea Species-Group The testacea -group is, together with the closely related polystigma -group, distinguished from all other Myopa species-groups by the following combination of characters: (1) conspicuous white hairs on the ventral occiput (i.e. white ���cheek whiskers���); (2) the crossvein r-m is black, and usually lies within a conspicuous blackish wing marking; and (3) the absence of a conspicuous, dense and isolated wing marking in the centre of cell r 4 + 5. Segregation of the testacea -group from the polystigma -group is more difficult, although this is normally possible through the more strongly spotted wings of the latter. In the polystigma -group there is normally blackish marking of the wing membrane along much of the length of vein M, but the marking along the outer section of this vein (M 2) is usually obviously interrupted in the middle section so as to produce distinct and obviously isolated spots at the wing apex and at the junction of M 2 with the outer crossvein dm-cu (Fig. 2). In the testacea -group these markings are either absent entirely (Fig. 1), or if present then the blackish coloration along vein M 2 runs uninterrupted from the outer crossvein dm-cu to the wing apex. This distinction is sometimes unclear in Myopa vicaria Walker, 1849 which is currently considered to belong to the polystigma -group, but this species also differs from the testacea -group in lacking any distinct rows of setose bristles in the basal part of the undersides of tibiae 1 and 2. Myopa vicaria is usually also distinctive in having very long hairs on the body, the longest of which are clearly longer than the hind metatarsus, as well as in having markedly pale (i.e. yellowish-orange) abdominal coloration. These two species-groups have been separated as a matter of expediency and probably do not form natural taxonomic groupings. Their maintenance may therefore eventually prove to be unsustainable. However, their separation is presently invoked in order to allow the early revision of the testacea -group. As far as can be ascertained, all species of the testacea -group are univoltine and fly mainly in the spring months, although at higher altitudes and in northern areas especially, the flight period may extend until July or later. The testacea -group appears to be confined to the Palaearctic region., Published as part of Stuke, Jens-Hermann & Clements, David K., 2008, Revision of the Myopa testacea Species-Group in the Palaearctic Region (Diptera: Conopidae), pp. 1-26 in Zootaxa 1713 on pages 2-3, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.274119

" Myopella florea R. D." A female of Myopa buccata (Linnaeus, 1758). The specimen is well preserved. The specimen bears the following labels: (1) "M. / florea / coll. Big." [round, white label]; (2) " Myopella / florea R. D." [light��blue label]; (3) " Syntype " [printed]. This specimen was determined and labelled by Robineau��Desvoidy and is evidently a syntype of Myopella florea Robineau��Desvoidy, 1853: 100 ��101. Since this specimen appears to be the only known syntype of Myopella florea it is herewith designated lectotype and the following label has been added: " Lectotypus / Myopella florea / Robineau�� Desvoidy, 1853 / des. Stuke & Clements, 2005 " [red label, printed]. Chv��la & Smith (1988) interpreted this species as a "doubtful species of Myopa."
