Biomyia Coquillett 1897

Description

13. Biomyia Coquillett, 1897b: 10, 81.

CURRENT STATUS: Unjustified emendation of Biomya Rondani, 1856; junior synonym of Zaira Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 [teste O’Hara & Wood (2004: 111)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE.

REMARKS: Name made available by virtue of the original and changed spellings appearing together in the same work and the changed spelling being adopted.

[Blepharoptera] Coquillett, 1900i: 457 [1904i: 71].

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Blephariptera Macquart, 1835 or subsequent usage of Blepharoptera Agassiz, 1846.

FAMILY: HELEOMYZIDAE.

REMARKS: Criteria to make this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in these works. The earliest mention of Blephariptera Macquart, 1835 that I have found in this study using the spelling “ Blepharoptera ” is Blepharoptera Agassiz, 1846 as an unjustified emendation [teste Evenhuis et al. (2016: 35)].
