Petagnia
Rondani
,
1856
:
61
.
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:
Petagnia occlusa
Rondani, 1856
.
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Petagnia occlusa
Rondani, 1856
, by original designation
.
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [
teste
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 293)
].
FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS: Although
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 293)
gave the method of
type
fixation for
Petagnia
in
Rondani (1856)
as by original designation, they treated the
type
species as a
nomen
nudum
. This is incorrect. The characters in
Rondani (1856: 61)
that make the genus-group name available serve to also make available
Petagnia occlusa
as the singly included species.
