Thanks Tony. Indeed I forgot to add 'Milichiidae'. None of the
rufitarsis species described by Meigen are Milichiidae, and, according to Systema Dipterorum, the valid name for
Gymnopa rufitarsis today is
Parydra (Parydra) coarctata Fallén, Ephydridae, that's why I was unable to associate it with
Mallochiella rufitarsis. On the Milichiidae site I see that a synonym of
Madiza glabra is
Madiza flavitarsis, and just this morning I was wondering if Bezzi simply wrote rufitarsis instead flavitarsis without checking.
