Pegomyia cepetorum Hylemyta antiqua, Meig. 



Pegomyia ceparum 



The synonyms most commonly in use at present are Phorhia cepetorum, 

 Meade, and Hylemyia antiqua, Meig. In his Descriptive List of the British 

 Anthomyiidae, Meade gives the fly the name P. cepetorum and describes 

 quite another species under H. antiqua. The Palaearctic Catalogue of 

 DipterO' and Stein's recent Monograph of the European Anthomyiidae, 

 however, give the name as Hylemyia antiqua, Meig. It is, therefore, 

 likely that Meade mis-identified this fly or described the same species 

 twice. 



It will be more correct in the future to refer to it under the name of 

 Hylemyia antiqua, Meig.
