REMARKS:
Eulalia
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 21)
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 (1903: 58)
treated
Eulalia
in synonymy with
Odontomyia
Meigen, 1803
, but did not include any species.
Hendel (1908: 52)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Eulalia
as valid, which makes the name available from
Hendel (1903)
.
Hendel (1908)
included three species:
Stratiomys furcata
Fabricius, 1794
,
Stratiomys tigrina
Fabricius, 1775
, and
Musca hydroleon
Linnaeus, 1758
[as “
hydroleon
F.”].
Coquillett (1910a: 541)
designated
Musca hydroleon
Linnaeus, 1758
as the
type
species by subsequent designation.
Musca hydroleon
Linnaeus, 1758
is currently treated in
Odontomyia
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Woodley (2001: 267)
], which makes
Eulalia
Hendel, 1903
a
junior synonym of
Odontomyia
