Melanomya Rondani 1856

Description

317. Melanomya Rondani, 1856: 88.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Dexia nana Meigen, 1826.

TYPE SPECIES: Dexia nana Meigen, 1826, by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Herting (1993: 103)].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE.

REMARKS: Rognes (1986a) and Pape (1986) transferred Melanomya from the Rhinophoridae to the Calliphoridae [its continued treatment under Rhinophoridae by Herting (1993: 103) was due to the cut-off date of 1982 set for the Palaearctic Catalogue], and Rognes (1991b: 184) further refined this by placing the genus in the calliphorid subfamily Melanomyinae.

EMENDATIONS: Melanomyia Rondani, 1868a: 50 (unjustified), n. syn.
