REMARKS:
Coryneta
was originally proposed by
Meigen (1800: 27)
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: 56)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Coryneta
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
included two species:
Musca cursitans
Fabricius, 1775
and
Musca cimicoides
Fabricius, 1779
, but did not designate a
type
species.
Coquillett (1910a: 528)
designated
Tachydromia connexa
Meigen, 1803
as
type
species, but this was not originally included and there are no other published
type
designations for this genus-group name. To fix the name, we select
Musca cimicoides
Fabricius, 1779
[=
Musca arrogans
Linnaeus, 1761
], by
present designation
.
Musca cimicoides
Fabricius, 1779
is currently treated in
Tachydromia
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Yang
et al
. (2007: 435)
], which makes
Coryneta
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Tachydromia
