Notes on synonymy. The authorship of this species is listed as Henriksen & Lundbeck in catalogues, but in the “Supplement list of Insects of Greenland ” by Henriksen (1939: 80) and Frey (1955a: 478) Lundbeck is listed as the sole author. There is no indication in Henriksen & Lundbeck (1917) that only Lundbeck is responsible for the new species of Diptera. He most likely was, but as this is neither given, nor even indicated (except that the illustration is Lundbeck’s and the descriptive style is his), then authorship should go to both. Henriksen (1939) probably gave Lundbeck the sole authorship from pure courtesy (Pape 2017, pers. comm.). The synonym of Rhamphomyia similata with R. filicauda was long recognized in the Empididae collection of the CNC and Downes (1970) clearly proposed this synonym, which we can also confirm. This synonym was apparently unknown to Melander (1965). Type material examined.
