ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:
Istocheta frontosa
Rondani, 1859
(as “Sp. Typ.

”).
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Istocheta frontosa
Rondani, 1859
(as “Sp. Typ.
nova
Frontalis
Mihi
”) [=
Phorocera cinerea
Macquart, 1850
], by original designation.
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [
teste
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 154)
].
FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS: Two original spellings were used for the
type
species in Rondani (1859):
frontalis
(page 157) and
frontosa
(page 171).
Herting (1984: 24)
, by indicating “
frontalis
” as a
nomen
nudum
and adopting
frontosa
as an available name, is here interpreted as having acted as First Reviser and selected
frontosa
as the correct original spelling. Verrall
in
Scudder (1882: 164)
listed the spelling
Histochaeta
and this was cited as an emendation by
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 358
, “
em
. Verr. ap. Scudd. 1882”), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in
Scudder (1882)
.
Histochaeta
Verrall, 1882
is thus an unavailable name,
new status
. “
Histochaeta
” of
Brauer & Bergenstamm (1891: 141
; 1893: 105) and
Bezzi & Stein (1907: 358)
was based on a misidentification and used in the sense of
Thelymorpha
Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889
.
