REMARKS:
Amphinome
was originally proposed by Meigen 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: 47)
was the first after
Meigen (1800)
to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat
Amphinome
as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author.
Hendel (1908)
included five available species-group names, but did not select a
type
species from among them.
Coquillett (1910a: 505)
was the first to designate
Tipula tripunctata
Fabricius, 1781
, as
type
species of
Amphinome
from these five originally included species.
Tipula tripunctata
Fabricius, 1781
is currently treated in
Limonia
Meigen, 1803
[
teste
Sabrosky 1999: 4
)], which makes
Amphinome
Meigen
in
Hendel, 1908 a
junior synonym of
Limonia
