CURRENT STATUS: Unjustified emendation of

FAMILY:
SYRPHIDAE
.
REMARKS: This is one of two original spellings (the other is
Xyloteia
, page 99) in
Rondani (1863)
, both of which are eligible as emendations by virtue of similar spelling changes in two or more names from “y” to “i” (
Xiloteja
) or “j” to “i” (
Xyloteia
) in the same work; however, as both names are used for the same taxon (
Xylotaeja
Rondani, 1845
), they cannot both be emendations. Acting as
First Reviser
, we select
Xiloteja
as the correct original spelling, which relegates
Xyloteia
(
q
.
v
.) to unavailable name status.
Xylotaeja
Rondani, 1845
is currently treated as a junior synonym of
Myolepta
Newman, 1838
[

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of
Xysta
Meigen, 1824
.
FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS: The earliest mention of
Xysta
Meigen, 1824
using the spelling “
Xista
” that we have found in this study is in
Boitard (1843: 414)
, as an incorrect subsequent spelling. In
Rondani (1856)
this is either an incorrect subsequent spelling or unjustified emendation (by virtue of similar spelling changes in two or more names from “y” to “i” in the same work). We thus follow ICZN
Code
Article 33.5 in treating this spelling in
Rondani (1856)
as an incorrect subsequent spelling.
