Drosophilidae This worldwide family of acalyptrate flies contains 4,139 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020) being most speciose in the Hawaiian Islands where more than 600 species are known (N. Evenhuis, per. comm. June 2020). Rondani (1856, 1875d) described two Palaearctic nominal species, Drosophila uvarum Rondani, 1875, considered as a junior synonym, and Domomyza cincta Rondani, 1856, as a senior synonym (but suppressed by the I.C.Z.N.) (Bächli & Rocha Pité 1984, Spencer & Martinez 1987, I.C.Z.N., 1997, Deeming 1988, Bächli et al. 1995, Brake & Bächli 2008). In his paper on the Rondani types at MZUB, Morge (1959b) listed three unpublished names (nomina nuda) of Rondani. Deeming (1988) designated a lectotype for Domomyza cincta and Bächli (1982) designated a lectotype for Drosophila uvarum, both of them in the MZUF. The type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (two), OUMNH (two) and MZUB (one).
