NEW SYNONYMY OF RHADIURGUS VARIABILIS (ZETTERSTEDT) (DIPTERA: ASILIDAE) WITH NOTES ON MORPHOLOGY, NATURAL HISTORY, AND GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION
Abstract Rhadiurgus variabilis (Zetterstedt 1838), a robber fly described from Europe, and Nigrasilus nitidifacies Hine 1908, described from North America, are newly synonymized. Lectotypes are designated for Asilus variabilis Zetterstedt and N . nitidifacies Hine. Some new descriptive material, inc...
