REMARKS:
Dorilas
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 31)
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: 59)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Dorilas
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
did not include any species.
Coquillett (1910a: 535)
was the first to include a species,
Pipunculus campestris
Latreille, 1802
, which is the
type
species by subsequent designation.
Pipunculus campestris
Latreille, 1802
is currently treated in
Pipunculus
Latreille, 1802
[
teste
Sabrosky (1999: 117)
], which makes
Dorilas
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Pipunculus
Latreille, 1802
