REMARKS:
Philia
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 20)
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: 51)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Philia
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
did not include any species.
Coquillett (1910a: 588)
was the first to include a species:
Tipula febrilis
Linnaeus, 1758
, which is the
type
species by subsequent designation.
Tipula febrilis
Linnaeus, 1758
is currently treated in
Dilophus
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Hardy (1989: 122)
], which makes
Philia
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Dilophus
