ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:
Istoglossa puella
Rondani, 1856
.
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Istoglossa puella
Rondani, 1856
, by original designation
.
CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of
Clausicella
Rondani, 1856
[
teste
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 345)
].
FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS: Although
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 345)
gave the method of
type
fixation for
Istoglossa
in
Rondani (1856: 77)
as by original designation, they listed the
type
species as dating from
Rondani (1861e: 104)
. This is incorrect. The characters in
Rondani (1856: 77)
that make the genus-group name available serve to also make available
Istoglossa puella
as the singly included species. Verrall
in
Scudder (1882: 164)
listed the spelling
Histoglossa
and this was cited as an emendation by
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 393
, “
em
. Scudd.”), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in
Scudder (1882)
.
Histoglossa
Verrall, 1882 is thus an unavailable name,
new status
.
EMENDATIONS:
Histoglossa
Bezzi & Stein, 1907: 393
(unjustified).
