Gouraldia Robineau-Desvoidy , 1851a : 150 . ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Gouraldia pupivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851 (with “ Metopia fasciata ” [from a Goureau label] in synonymy); Gouraldia binotata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851 (as “ Gouraldia binotata , Rob. -Desv.”; with “ Metopia fasciata ” [from a Goureau label] in synonymy). TYPE SPECIES : Gouraldia pupivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851 by subsequent designation (Robineau- Desvoidy, 1863a: 916) . CURRENT STATUS: Questionable senior synonym of Eumea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [ teste Herting (1984: 63) ; cf. Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 226) ]. FAMILY: TACHINIDAE . REMARKS: A second (incorrect) original spelling of Gouraldia pupivora exists in the note below Gouraldia binotata (page 152): “ Cet insecte pourrait être le mâle du G. pupurum: ce fait a besoin d’une confirmation péremptoire ”. Herting (1984: 63) considered G . pupivora as a questionable synonym of Tachina linearicornis Zetterstedt, 1844 , the senior synonym of the type species of Eumea Robineau- Desvoidy, 1863. Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 226) followed this interpretation by placing Gouraldia in “Doubtful taxa” after Eumea , but erred when they wrote “Type-species: Gouraldia pupivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851 … = linearicornis (Zetterstedt, 1844) ”. Their intended meaning was clearly the same as that of Herting (1984) and their passage should have read “Type-species: Gouraldia pupivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851 … =? linearicornis (Zetterstedt, 1844) ”. Because the synonymy of these two nominal species is questionable, Gouraldia does not replace Eumea as the valid name of that genus.
