Proboscina Rondani , 1856 : 88 . ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Proboscina longipes Rondani, 1856 . TYPE SPECIES : Proboscina longipes Rondani, 1856 [ nomen oblitum ; = Macquartia monticola Egger, 1856 , nomen protectum ], by original designation. CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Audouin, 1826; junior synonym of Eriothrix Meigen, 1803 [ teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 371) ]. FAMILY: TACHINIDAE . REMARKS: Although Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 371) gave the method of type fixation for Proboscina in Rondani (1856: 88) as by original designation, they listed the type species as dating from Rondani (1862d: 163) . This is incorrect. The characters in Rondani (1856: 88) that make the genus-group name available serve to also make available Proboscina longipes as the singly included species. This dating of Proboscina longipes from 1856 changes it from a junior to a senior synonym of Macquartia monticola Egger, 1856 . Rondani’s 1856 Prodromus volume was published on 10 September while Egger’s 1856 paper was published no earlier than December [see References in this paper for dating of these works]. Acceptance of Proboscina longipes Rondani as valid would upset stability as Macquartia monticola Egger (as Eriothrix monticola ) is in prevailing usage as the valid name for the taxon. Proboscina longipes has to our knowledge not been used as a valid species-group name since 1899, while Macquartia monticola has been used as a valid name in the genus Eriothrix in more than 25 works by at least 10 authors in the last 50 years and encompassing a span of not less than 10 years, including the following: Campadelli & Gardenghi (1985) ; Cerretti (2010); Cerretti & Tschorsnig (2003) ; Dunk & Tschorsnig (1998) ; Herting (1969 , 1974 , 1978 , 1984 ); Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993) ; Kofler & Tschorsnig (2006) ; Kolomiets (1967) ; Mesnil (1975); Mihályi (1986); Pape et al . (1995) ; Tschorsnig (1985 , 1997, 2001); Tschorsnig et al . (1997 , 2003); Tschorsnig & Herting (1994 , 1998); Tschorsnig & Ziegler (1999) ; Ziegler (2000) ; Ziegler & Lange (2001 , 2007 ). In the interests of nomenclatural stability, we hereby invoke reversal of precedence (ICZN Code Article 23.9.2) and declare Proboscina longipes Rondani, 1856 a nomen oblitum and Macquartia monticola Egger, 1856 a nomen protectum . [Proboscista] Rondani , 1861e : 59 , 172 . CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; name originally proposed in synonymy [with Fischeria Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830] and not subsequently made available before 1961 [ teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 344) ]. FAMILY: TACHINIDAE . REMARKS: The listings in Marschall (1873: 343) and Scudder (1882: 277) do not count as subsequent usage according to ICZN Code Article 23.9.1. [Promacus] Rondani , 1873d : 291 . CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Promachus Loew, 1848 . FAMILY: ASILIDAE . REMARKS: Criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in this work.
