Eberswalde) . Comb. n. - China (Fukien), Formosa, Indonesia (Java, Sumbawa), 

 Pakistan. 

 fuscipennis Wiedemann, 1819 : 26 (Ocyplera). Lectotype $ (by designation of Crosskey, 

 1966a : 666), Indonesia: Java (UZM, Copenhagen) [examined] .- Formosa, India (Andhra 

 Pradesh, Bihar, Madras, Rajasthan), Indonesia (Java), Philippines (Mindanao). 

 optima Townsend, 1927c : 285 (Opsocyptera) . Syntypes 2 $, Philippines: Mindanao, 

 Dapitan & Kolambugan (USNM, Washington) [examined]. 



Malloch (1931 : 321) gave it as his opinion that optima is a synonym of fuscipennis. 

 Further study is wanted for confirmation. 

 rufimana Villeneuve, 1944 : 144 (Ocyptera). Lectotype o* (by present designation), Formosa: 

 Koroton (CNC, Ottawa) [examined]. Syn. n. 

 hirtipleura Malloch, 1931 : 321. Holotype S, Malaysia: Malaya, Selangor, Bukit Kutu 

 (BMNH, London) [examined]. - Malaysia (Malaya, Sarawak). 

 This nominal species is possibly synonymous with orientalis. 

 luciflua Villeneuve, 1944 : 144 (Ocyptera). Lectotype $ (by present designation), Formosa: 



Kosempo (CNC, Ottawa) [examined]. Comb. n. - Formosa. 

 munita Townsend, 1926a : 31 (Malay ocyptera). Lectotype o* (by fixation of Townsend, 

 1938 : 134), Indonesia: Sumatra, Sungai Kumbang (ZM, Amsterdam) [examined]. 

 Comb. n. - Indonesia (Sumatra). 

 orientalis Townsend, 19276 : 284 (Eocyptera). Lectotype o* (by fixation of Townsend, 

 1938 : 107), Formosa: Sokutsu (DEI, Eberswalde) [paralectotype o* USNM, Washington, 

 examined]. Comb. n. - Formosa, India (Assam), Indonesia (Ambon). 



Townsend's (1938) citation of 'Ht male - Origin, Sokutsu, Formosa; location Berlin 



DEI' is a borderline case for acceptance of lectotype fixation, as an original o* syntype 



(paralectotype) from the type-locality (Sokutsu) is present in USNM collection. Hence 



only the cited depository specifies the designated individual. 



rufipes Meigen, 1824 : 215 (Ocyptera). Holotype $, France (MNHN, Paris). - India (Gujarat), 



Pakistan; widespread Europe, ? Ethiopian Region. 

 umbripennis Wulp, 1881 : 35 (Ocyptera). Holotype $ [not £], Indonesia: Sumatra, Soeroe- 

 langoen (RMNH, Leiden) [examined]. - Ceylon, Formosa, Indonesia (Sumatra), 

 Malaysia (Malaya), Philippines (Luzon, Mindanao). 



The holotype of umbripennis bears a label apparently in Wulp's writing that reads 

 'Ocyptera brunnipennis [sic] Type v.d. Wulp', but umbripennis is the published spelling. 

 anorbitalis Townsend, 1927c : 287 (Androcyptera). Syntypes <J ?, Philippines: Luzon, 

 Benguet, Baguio ; Mindanao, Bukidnon, Tankulan (USNM, Washington) [examined]. 



A discrepancy exists between the sex/data of the syntypes in USNM and the information 

 published in the original description. Also it appears that Townsend's (1938 : 86) citation 

 of 'Ht female' does not provide a valid lectotype fixation. 

 ambulatoria Villeneuve, 1944 : 144 (Ocyptera). Lectotype o* (by present designation), 

 Formosa: Takao (CNC, Ottawa) [examined]. Syn. n. 

 wiedemanni Crosskey nom. n. [Replacement name for Ocyptera bicolor Wiedemann.] - 

 Ceylon, India (Gujarat, Kerala, Madras) ; Southern Yemen. 

 bicolor Wiedemann, 1819 : 37 (Ocyptera). Lectotype q* (by designation of Crosskey, 

 1966a : 666), India (as Tnd. or.') (UZM, Copenhagen) [examined]. [Junior primary 

 homonym of Ocyptera bicolor Olivier, 181 1.]
