REMARKS:
Erinna
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
Erinna
in synonymy with
Xylophagus
Meigen, 1803
, but did not include any species.
Hendel (1908: 58)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Erinna
as valid, which makes the name available from
Hendel (1903)
.
Hendel (1908)
included a single species:
Nemotelus cinctus
De Geer, 1776
, which is the
type
species by monotypy.
Nemotelus cinctus
De Geer, 1776
is currently treated in
Xylophagus
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Woodley (2011: 482)
], which makes
Erinna
Hendel, 1903
a
junior synonym of
Xylophagus
