Diptera Genus-Group Names Incorrectly Attributed
to Robineau-Desvoidy
The following names have been found in two nomenclators and one article as attributed to Robineau- Desvoidy, but a thorough search has failed to find them among his publications. The ones listed by
Brullé (1831)
may have derived from manuscript names that Robineau-Desvoidy intended to use in his 1830 work but did not.
[Antidulina]
SOURCE:
Brullé (1831: 267)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
[Chiomyza]
SOURCE:
Agassiz (1846a: 8)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
[Corella]
SOURCE:
Brullé (1831: 267)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
[Hypogaea]
SOURCE:
Agassiz (1846a: 19)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
[Malacomyia]
SOURCE:
Agassiz (1846a: 22)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
[
Ocyptera
]
SOURCE:
Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 229)
.
CURRENT STATUS: Error for
Ocyptera
Latreille, 1804
.
FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS:
Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 229)
wrote “
Ocyptera
. R. D.” for the genus. This has been interpreted as an error for
Ocyptera
Latreille, 1804
by subsequent authors, and we concur.
[Phyllodromya] SOURCE: Verrall
in
Scudder (1882: 262)
. CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species. REMARKS: Stated by
Scudder (1882)
to date from
Robineau-Desvoidy (1830)
and to be an emendation of
Phyllodromia
Zetterstedt, 1837
[
Empididae
], which is clearly impossible from a chronological standpoint, but also because Robineau-Desvoidy did not work on
Empididae
.
[Phyllophaga]

Agassiz (1846a: 31)
. CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed without description, indication, or included species.
