REVISIONARY CLASSIFICATION OF RUTILIINI 139 
For further detail on original material in Macquart’s collection in Lille see Crosskey 
(1971: 267). 
townsendi nom. n. for Philippoformosia splendida Townsend, 1927, junior secondary homonym 
preoccupied in Rutilia by R. splendida (Donovan, 1805). For type-data see under splendida 
Townsend above. 
transfuga Bezzi, 1928 : 192 (Rutilia). Holotype 2, Fiji (Viwa, 26.x.1921, H. W. Simmonds) : 
BMNH, London. 
Bezzi, in the original publication, recorded the type-locality in Fiji as ‘Suva’, but this 
was clearly an error due to misreading of the handwritten word ‘Viwa’ given on the data 
label of the holotype. Viwa, a small island of the Fiji group lying north-west of Viti 
Levu, is the correct type-locality. 
transversa Malloch, 1936: 15 (Rutilia). Holotype g, AUSTRALIA (Western Australia, Swan 
River, J. Clavk) : SPHTM, Sydney. 
trixoides Walker, 1861) : 289 (Rutilia). Holotype 9, InponEs1A (Moluccas, Batjan, A. R. 
Wallace) : BMNH, London. 
uzita Walker, 1849 : 860 (Dexia). Holotype 2, AUSTRALIA : BMNH, London. 
The locality was cited in the original description as ‘New Holland ?’ but the specimen 
must without doubt have originated from Australia. 
valentina Macquart, 1843 : 279 (122) (Amphibolia). Holotype or syntypes g, AUSTRALIA : 
MH, Lille. 
For further detail on original material in Macquart’s collection in Lille see Crosskey 
(1971 : 263). 
variegata Bigot, 1874 : 461 (Fovmosia). Lectotype 2, by designation of Crosskey (1971 : 299), 
AUSTRALIA : BMNH, London. 
velutina Bigot, 1874 : 463 (Formosia). Lectotype 2, by designation of Crosskey (1971 : 299), 
AUSTRALIA (Tasmania) : BMNH, London. 
versicolor Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 : 171 (103) (Chrvysopasta). Lectotype g, by fixation 
of Malloch (19286 : 616), AUSTRALIA (Western Australia, Swan River) : NM, Vienna. 
The type-material of this species consists of a g and a 2 specimen with the same type- 
data; Malloch (1928 : 616) referred to the male as ‘type’ and the female as ‘allotype’, and 
cited the type-data, and his action is here accepted as providing a valid lectotype fixation. 
victoriae Malloch, 1936 : 13 (Senostoma). Holotype g, AUSTRALIA (Victoria, Gisborne, 
1g.1ii.1922, G. Lyell) : SPHTM, Sydney. 
vidua Guérin-Méneville, 1843 : 273 (Rutilia). Syntypes 1g, 3 2, AUSTRALIA : lost. 
violacea Macquart, 1851 : 198 (225) (Chetogaster). Holotype g, AUSTRALIA (‘céte orientale’, 
probably New South Wales) : MNHN, Paris. 
viridescens Enderlein, 1936 : 424 (Pancala, as variety of gemmata Enderlein, 1936). Lecto- 
type 3, by present designation (p. 119), PAPUA NEw GUINEA (New Britain, Kinigunang, 
C. Ribbe) : MNHU, Berlin. 
viridescens Enderlein, 1936 : 403 (Chrysorutilia, as variety of caesia Enderlein, 1936). Holo- 
type 9, AUSTRALIA (Queensland, H. Peters) : MNHU, Berlin. 
viridicingens Enderlein, 1936 : 421 (Hega). Holotype 3, INpDoneEs1A (Moluccas, Batjan) : 
MNHU, Berlin. 
viridinigra Macquart, 1846 : 307 (179) (Rutilia). Lectotype 9, by designation of Crosskey 
(1971 : 290), AUSTRALIA (Tasmania) : MNHN, Paris. 
viridis Malloch, 1936 : 19 (Chaetogaster). Holotype g, AUSTRALIA (New South Wales, Com- 
boyne, Chisholm) : SPHTM, Sydney. 
Malloch described this species from the male, as stated by him (Malloch, 1936: 19, 
line 1) before the key but not in the description; the holotype is J, not 2 as stated by Para- 
monov (1968 : 367). 
viriditestacea Macquart, 1851 : 190 (217) (Rutilia). Lectotype g, by designation of Crosskey 
(1971 : 290), AUSTRALIA (Tasmania) : MNHN, Paris. 
viridithovax Bigot, 1874 : 457 (Formosia). Nomen nudum (no later validation). 
Bigot (oc. cit) attributed the name viridithorax to Macquart with the citation ‘Rutilia
