this species. The original description of A. villosus runs as 
follows * :—“ Similis A. bifurcate \ abdomine villoso : L. 3 lines—- 
Mas. et Fern, similis A. bifurcatus sed paulo major. Abdomen 
villosum praesertim in mari.” Concerning this doubtful species 
Ficalbi says : “Non enumerata da altri questa specie lo e da 
Schiner, ed anch’ io la enumerero, ma non senza chiedermi se per 
avventura non si tratti di puro e simplice A. bifurcatus .” 
A. villosus was described from Paris. 
Fabricius’ A. claviger never existed, and was probably a 
wrongly compiled description. In any case the wings were 
spotted, so it could not be the same as Meigen’s G. claviger 
of 1804.
