274 R- W. CROSSKEY 



United States National Museum, Washington D.C.). Paralectotype $, same data 

 as lectotype (CNC, Ottawa, ex coll. Villeneuve-Mesnil). 



The lectotype bears Villeneuve's original handwritten label 'Phyllomyia elegans 

 Typ. Villen.'. It lacks the right third antennal segment. 



Platychira cyanicolor Villeneuve, 1932ft : 268. 



Described from three $ syntypes with the same data. Two have been located. 

 LECTOTYPE $, Formosa: Toyenmongai (in British Museum (Natural History), Lon- 

 don). Paralectotype $, same data as lectotype (CNC, Ottawa, ex coll. Villeneuve- 

 Mesnil). 



The lectotype has a printed label 'Formosa Toyenmongai' and bears Villeneuve's 

 original handwritten label reading 'Platychira cyanicolor Typ. Villen.'. 



Podomyia atkinsoni Aubertin, 1932 : 35. 



Described from one $ and five <$ specimens cited as 'Type $ and $, and four <$ 

 paratypes' ; technically a lectotype designation is required, and the specimen labelled 

 and cited by Aubertin as 'Type g is here designated. LECTOTYPE <$, Burma: 

 S. Toungoo, Pyuchaung Res., 26.1.1931 {D.J. Atkinson) (in British Museum (Natural 

 History), London). Paralectotypes: 1 $, same data as lectotype (BMNH); 2 <$, 

 same data as lectotype except dates 20 & 21.1.1931 (BMNH). The remaining 

 two $ syntypes (paralectotypes) have not been seen and were probably returned 

 to a collection in Burma. 



The lectotype has the following labels: a printed label 'Pyuchaung Res. S. Toungoo 

 San Thwin Coll.' on which the date '26.1.31' has been added in black ink; a printed 

 label 'BURMA D. J. Atkinson', a label with 'Parasitic on' in print and the host 

 name 'Xyleutes ceramicus' in black ink, and Aubertin's original handwritten label 

 'Podomyia atkinsoni. Type J. Aub'. 



Prosheliomyia nietneri Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1891 : 375 (71). 



Described from an unstated number of syntypes of both sexes. Three identically 

 labelled syntypes, two <$ and one $, stood in the Vienna collection and these probably 

 comprise the whole type-series (one <$ is now in BMNH by exchange). Townsend 

 (1932 : 34; 1939ft : 263) cited 'Ht J' in Vienna, but as there are two $ syntypes 

 neither of which was labelled by Townsend his action does not provide a valid 

 lectotype fixation. LECTOTYPE <$, Ceylon: Rambodde (Nietner) (in Natur- 

 historisches Museum, Vienna). Paralectotypes: 1^,1$, same data as lectotype 

 ($ in NM, Vienna, <J in BMNH, London). 



The lectotype has a faded handwritten label 'Ceylon Rambodde Nietner', a 

 printed label 'Schiner 1869', a label 'Nietneri det. B. B.' (the name by hand), and 

 a label 'Ceylon Alte Sammlung' (the place name handwritten). 



Salmacia pruinosa Villeneuve, 1933 : 198. 



Described from an unstated number of <$ and 9 syntypes from Tonkin and China 

 (Yachow, Mupin). The locality information suggests that there must have been
