FAMILY:
TACHINIDAE
.
REMARKS:
Rondani (1856: 84)
listed the
type
species as
Dexia marittima
Macquart. There
is only one such species-group name in Macquart’s works (1850: 527; as “
Dexia maritima
”) but it is an unavailable name there. Although
Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 363)
gave the method of
type
fixation for
Deximorpha
in
Rondani (1856: 84)
as by original designation, they dated the
type
species from
Rondani (1862d: 64)
. This is incorrect. The characters in
Rondani (1856: 84)
that make the genusgroup name available serve to also make available
Deximorpha marittima
as the singly included species.
