The status of Mesnil’s 1949 Die Fliegen genus-group names (Diptera: Tachinidae) Author Evenhuis, Neal L. Author O’Hara, James E. text Zootaxa 2008 1827 65 68 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.183130 e9f34109-3abf-434a-861c-4da23720ae25 1175-5326 183130 Pimelimyia Pimelimyia Mesnil, 1949a : 104 . Type species: Sturmia russata Villeneuve, 1934 , by monotypy. Pimelimyia Mesnil, 1950 : 108 . Type species: Sturmia semitestacea Villeneuve, 1916 , by original designation. Current status : Available from Mesnil (1949a) [valid teste Crosskey (1980: 873) , but at that time dated from Mesnil (1950) ]. Remarks . Pimelimyia was previously thought to be unavailable from its listing in the key in Mesnil (1949a) because it did not have an included species or a type species fixation ( Crosskey 1980 : 873; O’Hara 1996 : 127). Although there is not an included species where the genus-group name is mentioned in the key (p. 104), there is a single species ( russata Villeneuve ) mentioned in combination with the genus-group name on p. 103, and thus the type species is fixed in Mesnil (1949a) by monotypy. Even though the type species in Mesnil (1949a; russata Villeneuve ) is different than that in Mesnil (1950; semitestacea Villeneuve ) , both are currently considered members of Pimelimyia , so there is no change in taxonomy of the genus-group name. Poujadea Poujadea Mesnil, 1949a : 102. Unavailable; keyed out but no included species. Poujadea Mesnil, 1950 : 108. Type species: Zenillia insolita Curran, 1927 , by monotypy. Current status : Available from Mesnil (1950) ; invalid, junior synonym of Sisyropa Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 [ teste Crosskey ( 1980 : 873 )]. Prosturmina Prosturmina Mesnil, 1949a : 103 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; keyed out but no included species. Prosturmina Mesnil, 1949b : 8, 32 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; genus-group name proposed after 1930 without type designation from three included species. Prosturmina Mesnil, 1951 : 161 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; genus-group name proposed after 1930 without type designation or included species. Prosturmina Mesnil, 1970 : 111 (subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Type species: Sturmia vigilans Villeneuve, 1933 , by original designation. Current status : Available from Mesnil (1970) ; invalid, junior synonym of Palexorista Townsend, 1921 [ teste Crosskey (1980: 871) ]. Tamaromyia Tamaromyia Mesnil, 1949a : 104. Type species: Exorista tamara Portschinsky, 1884 (as “ Tamaromyia tamara Portsch. ”), by monotypy. Tamaromyia Mesnil, 1952 : 226. Type species: Exorista tamara Portschinsky, 1884 , by original designation. Current status : Available from Mesnil (1949a) ; invalid, junior synonym of Calozenillia Townsend, 1927 [ teste Crosskey (1980: 869) ]. Remarks . Tamaromyia was previously thought to be unavailable from its listing in the key in Mesnil (1949a) because it did not have an included species or a type species fixation ( Crosskey 1980 : 869; O’Hara 1996 : 129). Although there is not an included species where the genus-group name is mentioned in the key (p. 104), there is a single species ( tamara Portschinsky ) mentioned in combination with the genus-group name on p. 103, and thus the type species is fixed in Mesnil (1949a) by monotypy.
