Curtonotum Macquart Type species: Musca gibba Fabricius, 1805 [preoccupied], by original designation. [The name of the Type species is a junior primary homonym preoccupied by Musca gibba Müller, 1776: 175 and M . gibba Rossi, 1794: 73 . Curtonotum taeniatum Hendel, 1913: 629 was accepted as the replacement name by Thompson and Pont (1993) ]. Species included: 73. Klymko and Marshall (2011) noted that there were no obvious synapomorphies for the genus Curtonotum , with the possible exception of the spinose costa. A costal margin with very long, conspicuous, closely-packed spines (16) may be a homologue and have been lost in the Axinota pictiventris species-group.
