Vol. 110, No. 4, September & October, 1999 201 LECTOTYPE DESIGNATIONS IN XYLOMYIDAE AND STRATIOMYIDAE (DIPTERA) 1 Norman E. Woodley^ ABSTRACT: Lectotypes are designated for Arthropeina fulva Lindner, 1949; Solva inamuena Walker, 1859; Xylophagus marginatus Meigen, 1820; and Xylophagus varius Meigen, 1820 in the Xylomyidae, and, Clitellaria aberrans Schiner, 1868; Oxycera liburna Walker, 1849; Cyclogaster peregrinus Hutton, 1901; Cyanauges ruficornis Schiner, 1868; Anacanthella splendens Macquart, 1855; and Exodontha villosa Lindner, 1969 in the Stratiomyidae. Dysbiota peregrina (Hutton), NEW COMBINATION and Spaniomyia liburna (Walker), NEW COMBINA-TION are proposed in the Stratiomyidae. During the course of long-term revisonary work on several groups of Xylo-myidae and Stratiomyidae, I have labeled some specimens of syntype series as lectotypes. As some of the publications in which these taxa will be dealt with are not imminent, I feel it is pertinent to publish these lectotype designations at this time. Species-level names are arranged alphabetically within each family. Label data are quoted with a slash "/" between each label. I have not gone into greater detail regarding labels, such as their color, handwritten versus printed, etc., as this information is not necessary to identify the specimens being designated. Paralectotypes have been labeled when I have examined additional syntypes if they exist. I have gone into some detail in describing the condition of lectotype specimens, as I feel this gives future workers a historical point of reference. Acronyms for the collections in which the specimens are kept may be found in the acknowledgments section. The current valid combination is given for each name. Xylomyidae fulva Lindner, 1949: 790. [Arthropeina]. Current name: Arthropeina fulva Lindner. LECTOTYPE Cf [BMNH], is labeled: "Brasilien Nova Teutonia 27 1 1 'B. 5223'L. Fritz Plaumann 22.11.1937/Brit. Mus. 1938-40./ Arthropeina fulva Lind./Type Lindner 1940/SYN-TYPE/SYNTYPE Arthropeina fulva Lindner det. J. E. CHAINEY 1981 /LECTOTYPE Arthropeina fulva Lindner, 1949, 790. des. N. E. Woodley 1984". The specimen is in excellent condition. A syntype is also in the collection and is labeled as PAR ALECTO TYPE. 1 Received January 19, 1999.
