Abstract

NIHEI, Silvio Shigueo. Review of the type material of three species of Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki (Diptera, Muscidae). Rev. Bras. entomol. [online]. 2004, vol.48, n.1, pp. 21-25. ISSN 0085-5626.  doi: 10.1590/S0085-56262004000100003.

The type material of three species of Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911 was examined. Polietina flavidicincta (Stein, 1904) is redescribed and a lectotype is designated; P. stellata (Couri, 1982) is considered junior synonym of P. flavithorax (Stein, 1904), and for the latter a lectotype is designated. The neotype previously designated is considered invalid.
