 vittata Macquart, 1843 : 249 (92). Holotype §, New South Wales : Port Jackson (= Sydney) 

 (MNHN, Paris) [examined]. Junior primary homonym and junior objective synonym 

 of P. vittata Guerin-Meneville. 



It is considered certain (Crosskey, 1971 : 284-285) that Macquart described his P. 

 vittata from the same female specimen from Port Jackson that Guerin-Meneville had already 

 used as the basis of his P. vittata, Macquart apparently being unaware of Guerin-Meneville's 

 description. P. vittata Macquart has therefore the status of a junior objective synonym 

 and junior homonym of P. vittata Guerin-Meneville. 



Macquart (1843 : 249) considered that vittata might be the female of P. conica Guerin- 

 Meneville. As the male holotype of conica and the female holotype of vittata (both from 

 Port Jackson) are mounted and labelled exactly similarly it is almost certain that they 

 were collected at the same time, and probable that the sexes associate. Synonymy is 

 not established at present.
