چکیده
The new species Loewia papei sp. nov. from southern Anatolia (Turkey) is described, illustrated and compared with congeners. A brief diagnosis of Loewia Egger is provided and the systematics of the genus are discussed. Loewia nudigena Mesnil, 1972 is fixed as the type species of Fortisia Rondani, 1861 (junior synonym of Loewia). A full list of previously known valid species of Loewia is provided along with information on primary types, type repositories (where known), and type localities. A lectotype is designated for Thrychogena brevifrons Rondani, 1856 (= Loewia brevifrons (Rondani, 1856)).

متن کاملThe identity of Tachina westermanni Wiedemann, 1819 (Diptera: Calliphoridae or Tachinidae) with a solution to a nomenclatural problem.
Tachina westermanni Wiedemann, 1819 was based on four syntypes, two conspecific calliphorids and two conspecific tachinids. Two existing but contradictory lectotype fixations have resulted in confusion as to the correct application of the specific name westermanni Wiedemann. Evidence is presented showing that the lectotype fixation of Townsend in 1931 is valid and assigns westermanni Wiedemann ...
