REMARKS:
Chrysops
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 23)
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]).
Meigen (1803: 267)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon and to treat
Chrysops
as valid, which makes the name available from that work.
Meigen (1803: 274)
included the single species
Tabanus caecutiens
Linnaeus, 1758
[as “
Tabanus caecutiens
Fabr.
”], which is the
type
species by monotypy.
