ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES:

Fallén, 1820
.
TYPE
SPECIES
:
Limosina acutangula
Zetterstedt, 1847
, by subsequent designation (
I.C.Z.
N., 1996: 136 [
Opinion
1839])
.
CURRENT STATUS: New replacement name for

; valid genus [
teste
Rohaček (2001: 135)
].
FAMILY:
SPHAEROCERIDAE
.
REMARKS:
Wheeler & Swann (1994)
applied to the ICZN Commission to designate
Limosina acutangula
Zetterstedt, 1847
as the
type
species of
Coproica
Rondani, 1861
because the original
type
species,
Copromyza pusilla
Fallén, 1820
,
sensu
Rondani, 1861 was based on a misidentification. Currently,
Copromyza pusilla
is a species of
Ischiolepta
Lioy, 1864
and acceptance of Rondani’s designation of it as
type
species of
Coproica
would threaten stability by placing
Ischiolepta
Lioy
as a junior synonym of
Coproica
. The ICZN Commission (I.C.Z.N., 1996: 136 [Opinion 1839]) voted in favor of designating
Limosina acutangula
Zetterstedt, 1847
as the
type
species of
Coproica
Rondani, 1861
.
