New synonymies in the European Fannidae (Diptera)
- N/A
Four new synonyms are proposed, based mainly on the study of type material: Fannia berolinensis Hennig, 1955 = F. limbata (Tiensuu, 1938); F. coracula Collin, 1958 = F. fuscitibia Stein, 1920; F. hylemyiaeformis Ringdahl, 1952 = F. brinae Albuquerque, 1951; and F. spinosa Karl, 1923 = F. sociella (Zetterstedt, 1845). F. fuscitibia Stein is now shown to have a Holarctic distribution, and the known distribution of F. limbata (Tiensuu) is extended as far south as southern Moravia. Lectotypes are designated for F. hylemyiaeformis Ringdahl and F. spinosa Karl.
