Synonyms
Hilara heterogastra
Nowicki, 1868 (nec Loew, 1857) (junior homonym)
Hilara allogastra Chvála, 2001
Hilara abdominalis auct. nec Zetterstedt, 1838
(very frequent misidentification prior to the
work of Chvala 2001)
Note: the name Hilara heterogastra Nowicki, 1868
is a junior homonym of Hilara heterogastra Loew,
1857, a South African species that is now placed
in Hilarempis. Chvala erected Hilara allogastra
as a new name for Hilara heterogastra Nowicki
and recognized it as a bona species. It has to
be noted, however, that Hilara allogastra (as H.
heterogastra) has been frequently misidentified as Hilara abdominalis
and most older records of Hilara
abdominalis in the literature
are actually Hilara allogastra (see Chvala 2001
for examples of misidentifications).
