Type Collections of Drosophilidae (Diptera). I. The Strobl Collection.

Abstract

1. A critical review is presented of the 308 specimens of Drosophilidae (s. str.) in Strobl's collection at Graz, Austria. A total of 68 species or their synonyms is discussed. Some new synonymy is proposed. A few MS names and nomina nuda are exposed. - 2. Lordiphosa n. subgen. is proposed for the fenestrarum group of Drosophila. - 3. Types of the following species are here selected (original genus given): Stegana nigrithorax Str., St. stroblii Mik, Phortica obscuripes Str., Drosophila nigrosparsa Str., D. tinctipennis Str., D. andalusiaca Str., D. nigricolor Str., D. unimaculata Str., and D. unistriata Str.; and the type association of D. nigrithorax Str. is determined.
