REMARKS:
Cypsela
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 31)
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]).
Hendel (1908: 59)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Cypsela
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
did not include any species.
Coquillett (1910a: 530)
was the first to include a species:
Musca subsultans
Linnaeus, 1767
[as “
Musca subsultans
Fabricius
”], which is the
type
species by subsequent designation.
Musca subsultans
Linnaeus, 1767
is currently treated in
Sphaerocera
Latreille, 1804
[
teste
Roháček
et al
. (2001: 105)
], which makes
Cypsela
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Sphaerocera
Latreille, 1804
