TACHINIDAE OF ORIENTAL REGION 211 



Genus NEOPLECTOPS Malloch 



Neoplectops Malloch, 1930c : 147. Type species: Neoplectops nudibasis Malloch, 1930, by 



original designation. 

 nudibasis Malloch, 1930c : 147. Holot>pe $, Malaysia: Malaya, Pahang, Kuala Teku

Genus PHYTOMYPTERA Rondani 



Phytomyptera Rondani, 1845 : 32. Type-species: Phytomyptera nitidiventris Rondani, 1845 

 [= Tachina nigrina Meigen, 1824], by monotypy. (Europe). 



Microphytomyptera Townsend, 19276 : 287. Type-species: Microphytomyptera minuta Town- 

 send, 1927, by original designation. Syn. n. 



minuta Townsend, 19276 : 287 (Microphytomyptera) . Syntypes 1 6*. 3 ?. Formosa: Hokuto 

 (DEI, Eberswalde: 2 $) [examined]. Comb. n. - Formosa, India (Mysore), Pakistan. 



This species was described from a male and three female syntypes from the same locality. 

 Townsend (1940 : 237) cited a female as 'holotype', but did not thereby validly fix a 

 specimen as lectotype since there are three females and none was labelled as the type. 

 The male syntype, which would be the best specimen for lectotype designation, has not 

 been located, and no lectotype is therefore designated at this time.
