REMARKS:
Chrysozona
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 23)
without included species and later made unavailable from that publication by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]).
Hendel (1903: 58)
proposed
Chrysozona
in synonymy by treating it as a synonym of
Haematopota
Meigen, 1803
, but did not give characters to differentiate it nor did he include any species.
Hendel (1908: 58)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat it as valid, which makes the name available from
Hendel (1903)
.
Hendel (1908: 58)
also included the first species mentioned by
Meigen (1800)
,
Tabanus pluvialis
Linnaeus, 1758
, which is the
type
species by subsequent monotypy.
Tabanus pluvialis
is currently treated in
Haematopota
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Daniels (1989: 291)], which makes
Chrysozona
Hendel, 1903
a
junior synonym of
Haematopota
Meigen, 1803
,
n. syn
.
Bezzi (1908d: 375)
also used the name
Chrysozona
as valid with one included species (
Chrysozona ochracea
Bezzi, 1908
), but this was probably published after
Hendel’s (1908)
work appeared.
