Author Pape, Thomas text Zootaxa 2017 4275 1 1 74 journal article 32874 10.11646/zootaxa.4275.1.1 02308cb2-2ac2-407f-aa58-b7f5b657fc44 1175-5326 804234 065D531F-1095-4364-906B-EC55CFF9BFD4 8. Chrysops [ Chrysops ] Meigen, 1800: 23 . CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Chrysops Meigen, 1803 [ teste Sabrosky (1999: 88) ]. Chrysops Meigen , 1803: 267 . ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tabanus caecutiens Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tabanus caecutiens Fabr. ”]. TYPE SPECIES: Tabanus caecutiens Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tabanus caecutiens Fabr. ”], by monotypy. CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Sabrosky (1999: 88) ]. FAMILY: TABANIDAE . 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.
