REMARKS:
Larvaevora
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 38)
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: 65)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Larvaevora
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
included three nominal species:
Musca grossa
Linnaeus, 1758
[as “
M. grossa
... F.”],
Musca fera
Linnaeus, 1761
[as “
fera
... F.”], and
Musca lurida
Fabricius, 1781
.
Coquillett (1910a: 557)
selected
Musca grossa
Linnaeus, 1758
, which is the
type
species by subsequent designation.
Musca grossa
Linnaeus, 1758
is currently treated in
Tachina
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Sabrosky (1999: 171)
], which makes
Larvaevora
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Tachina
