Spathipalpus Rondani , 1863 : 20 [ 1864a : 20 ]. ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Spathipalpus philippii Rondani, 1863 ; Spathipalpus flavifrons Rondani, 1863 (as “ S . Flavifrons Phil.”). TYPE SPECIES : Spathipalpus philippii Rondani, 1863 , by subsequent designation ( Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1893: 132 ). CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Guimarães (1971: 118) ]. FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

(1928: 1 [Opinion 98]; 1956a: 307–328 [Direction 32]).
