Latreille
”) [=
Musca formosa
Panzer, 1798
], automatic [by designation of the same species (by subsequent designation of
Coquillett, 1910: 565
) for
Meckelia
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
].

Meckelia
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
; junior synonym of

.
New synonymy
.
FAMILY:
ULIDIIDAE

REMARKS: The correct name for the
type
species of
Meckelia
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
has recently been clarified [see
Evenhuis
et al
. (2010b: 105)
for details] and is actually
Musca formosa
Panzer, 1798
, which puts the genus-group name in synonymy with
Otites
Latreille, 1804
unlike previous treatments that have it in synonymy with
Ceroxys
Macquart, 1835
.
