164 R. W. CROSSKEY 
under the name ruralis, none of them with data labels; one is 3 and six are 9. 
In the absence of contrary evidence all seven specimens are accepted as syntypes. 
The g syntype is the only specimen that belongs to the well-known and nearly 
cosmopolitan species that has long been known as Vora ruralis (Fallén) and this 
specimen is therefore designated as lectotype. LECTOTYPE 3, SwEepen: Skane, 
Esperéd (in Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm). Paralectotypes 7 2, data 
presumed as lectotype (also in NR, Stockholm). 
The lectotype bears a very old label reading (in faded ink) “Tachina ruralis 3 
Fallén’, and one of the @ paralectotypes bears an identical label. Other 
paralectotypes are unlabelled. 
All six 9 paralectotypes are mis-associated with the g lectotype. They belong 
to a species of Exorista, most of them probably being Exorista rustica (Fallén, 
1810). This species was described immediately before ruralis in Fallén (1810 : 264), 
and Fallén noted in the description of ruralis its similarity to rustica. There 
may at some time have been a confusion of the specimens of rustica and ruralis, 
but the present designation of the g syntype as lectotype maintains the 
longstanding usage of the name ruralis for a species of Voria Robineau-Desvoidy 
and not of Exorista Meigen. 
Zosteromyia brevifacies Hardy, 1934 : 36. 
Described from one 2 syntype from Tooloom (N.S.W.) and a 9 and two ¢ 
syntypes from Mt. Wellington (Tasmania). The Tooloom specimen is designated 
as lectotype; the other syntypes have not been located. LECTOTYPE 9Q, 
AUSTRALIA: New South Wales, Tooloom, 29.i.1926 (in Queensland Museum, 
Brisbane: registered No. T.7127). 
The lectotype bears an ink label reading ‘Tooloom NSW 29.1.26’ and a name 
label in Hardy’s writing reading ‘Zosteromyia brevifacies Hardy PARATYPE’. 
(As no holotype was designed in the original publication the specimen is an original 
syntype, not a paratype.) 
Zosteromyia longicornis Hardy, 1934 : 36. 
Described from three ¢ syntypes from Brisbane and Mt _ Glorious. 
LECTOTYPE g, AUSTRALIA: Queensland, Mt Glorious, 25.iv.1930 (in University 
of Queensland, Brisbane). Paralectotype 3, same data as lectotype (in BMNH, 
London). The third syntype has not been located. 
The lectotype bears an ink label reading ‘Mt Glorious 25.4.30’ and a name label 
in Hardy’s writing reading ‘Zosteromyia longicornis Hardy PARATYPE’. (As 
no holotype was designated in the original publication the specimen is an original 
syntype, not a paratype.) 
Zosteromyia morgani Hardy, 1934 : 37. 
Described from four ¢ specimens (syntypes) without a designated holotype.
