Peckia
Robineau-Desvoidy
,
1830
:
335
.
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:
Peckia imperialis
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
;
Peckia lamanensis
Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830;
Peckia aterrima
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
;
Peckia plumipes
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
;
Peckia lanipes
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
.
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Peckia imperialis
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
, by subsequent designation (
Coquillett, 1910: 585
).
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus and subgenus [
teste
Pape (1996: 273)
].
FAMILY:
SARCOPHAGIDAE
.
REMARKS: The
type
species has been listed as a junior synonym of
Sarcophaga praeceps
Wiedemann,
1830
in previous catalogs and works, but this is incorrect.
Robineau-Desvoidy’s 1830
paper came out on 6 June while
Wiedemann’s 1830
paper came out less than three months later in September [see References in this paper for dating of the former and
Evenhuis (1997: 822)
for dating of the latter]. The name
Peckia imperialis
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
appears to fulfill the requirements for a
nomen oblitum
, but as we do not see
Sarcophaga praeceps
Wiedemann, 1830
fulfilling the conditions for a
nomen protectum
, we are following strict priority.
