Helea [ Helea ] Meigen, 1800: 18 . CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Ceratopogon Meigen, 1803 [ teste Borkent & Wirth (1997: 95) ]. [ Helea ] Latreille, 1802: 425 . CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; name proposed (along with Tendipes ) in synonymy with Tipula Linnaeus, 1758 without characters to define each genus-group name. [ Helea ] Latreille, 1820: 360 . CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; name proposed (along with Tendipes ) in synonymy with Tipula Linnaeus, 1758 without characters to define each genus-group name. Helea Osten Sacken , 1882 : 193 . ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None. FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Tipula barbicornis Linnaeus, 1767 [as “ Tip. barbicornis F.”] (in Hendel, 1908: 49 ). TYPE SPECIES: Tipula barbicornis Linnaeus, 1767 (as “ Tip. barbicornis F.”), sensu Meigen, 1803 [misidentified; = Ceratopogon communis Meigen, 1804 ], by subsequent monotypy ( Hendel, 1908: 49 ). CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Ceratopogon Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy . FAMILY: CERATOPOGONIDAE . REMARKS: Helea was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 18) without included species and later made unavailable 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]). The first subsequent usage of the name Helea after Meigen (1800) was by Osten Sacken (1882: 193) where he listed it in synonymy with Ceratopogon Meigen, 1803 : “Unter den Diagnosen sind mehrere kenntlich; so finde ich Flabellifera (1800) für Ctenophora (1803) , Helea (1800) für Ceratopogon (1803) ” but he did also not include any species. The name is made available from Osten Sacken (1882) by action of Hendel (1908: 49) , who listed Tipula barbicornis Linnaeus, 1767 (as “ Tip. barbicornis F.”) as the first included species and treated the name as valid. Coquillett (1910a: 549) also treated the name as valid but gave the type species as Ceratopogon communis Meigen, 1803 , which was not one of the first included species by Hendel (1908: 49) .
