TYPE
SPECIES
:
Musca semidiaphana
Rondani, 1850
[=
Lucilia nubipennis
Rondani, 1848
], by subsequent designation (
Pont, 1983: 108
).
CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by
Linnaeus, 1758
(I.C.Z.N., 1957: 161 [Direction 72]); Röding, 1798; senior (but invalid) synonym of
Hemilucilia
Brauer, 1895
[

this work].
FAMILY:
CALLIPHORIDAE
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1856: 90)
designated
Musca vomitoria
Linnaeus, 1758
as
type
species [which was followed by
Schumann (1986: 17)
], but this was not an originally included species, hence is not a valid fixation of the
type
species.
Coquillett (1910: 571)
designated
Musca segmentaria
(stated to be “the third species”) as the
type
.
Rondani (1850c: 177)
indicated that his third species (“
Mya Semidiaphana
Mihi”) was near
Musca segmentaria
Fabricius
(“para vicina alla
Musca segmentaria
del Fabricius”). However, as this is not enough to have
Musca segmentaria
as an originally included species, the designation by
Coquillett (1910: 571)
is not valid.
Pont (1983)
in his application to the ICZN Commission noted the absence of a previous valid
type
species fixation for
Mya
Rondani, 1850 and selected
Musca semidiaphana
Rondani, 1850
as the
type
species.
Mya
semidiaphana
Rondani, 1850
was treated as a junior synonym of
Musca segmentaria
Fabricius,
1805
in
Hemilucilia
Brauer, 1895
(
James, 1970
).
Thompson & Pont (1994)
noted that
Musca segmentaria
Fabricius, 1805
is preoccupied by
Musca segmentaria
Panzer, 1804
and placed the former as an invalid senior synonym of the next available name,
Lucilia nubipennis
Rondani, 1848
, which is followed here.
EMENDATIONS:
Myia
Bezzi & Stein, 1907: 545
(unjustified).
