Delia tenuiventris (Zetterstedt, 1860)
Hylemyia conversata Tiensuu, 1936 (p. 23)
Delia conversata (Tiensuu, 1936)
Hylemyia angustitarsis auct. sensu Ringdahl, 1930 nec Malloch, 1920 (misidentification)
Delia angustitarsis auct. nec Malloch, 1920

Note: The catalog by Dely-Draskovits (1993) list the conversata taxon twice: each described by Tiensuu in the Acta Societatis pro Fauna et Flora Fennica series, but allegedly in two different volumes (volume 58 and volume 59). However, this is incorrect: the taxon conversata has been described by Tiensuu (1936) in the fourth chapter of volume 58 of the Acta Societatis pro Fauna et Flora Fennica series. But there is no additional description of this taxon in volume 59.

Specimens of Delia tenuiventris and its synonym Delia conversata have been misidentified as "Hylemyia angustitarsis" by Ringdahl (see Suwa 1981). This misidentification has since been picked up by many subsequent authors who have erroneously synonymized the true Delia angustitarsis (Malloch, 1920) with the present species. The true Delia angustitarsis does not occur in Europe, but is distributed in northern America.
