Pimelimyia

Evenhuis, Neal L. & O’Hara, James E., 2008, The status of Mesnil’s 1949 Die Fliegen genus-group names (Diptera: Tachinidae), Zootaxa 1827, pp. 65-68 : 67

Pimelimyia

Pimelimyia Mesnil, 1949a: 104 . Type species: Sturmia russata Villeneuve, 1934 , by monotypy.

Pimelimyia Mesnil, 1950: 108 . Type species: Sturmia semitestacea Villeneuve, 1916 , by original designation.

Current status: Available from Mesnil (1949a) [valid teste Crosskey (1980: 873), but at that time dated from Mesnil (1950)].

Remarks. Pimelimyia was previously thought to be unavailable from its listing in the key in Mesnil (1949a) because it did not have an included species or a type species fixation ( Crosskey 1980: 873; O’Hara 1996: 127). Although there is not an included species where the genus-group name is mentioned in the key (p. 104), there is a single species ( russata Villeneuve ) mentioned in combination with the genus-group name on p. 103, and thus the type species is fixed in Mesnil (1949a) by monotypy. Even though the type species in Mesnil (1949a; russata Villeneuve ) is different than that in Mesnil (1950; semitestacea Villeneuve ), both are currently considered members of Pimelimyia , so there is no change in taxonomy of the genus-group name.

Poujadea

Poujadea Mesnil, 1949a: 102. Unavailable; keyed out but no included species. Poujadea Mesnil, 1950: 108. Type species: Zenillia insolita Curran, 1927 , by monotypy. Current status: Available from Mesnil (1950); invalid, junior synonym of Sisyropa Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 [teste Crosskey

(1980: 873)].

Prosturmina

Prosturmina Mesnil, 1949a: 103 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; keyed out but no included species.

Prosturmina Mesnil, 1949b: 8, 32 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; genus-group name proposed after 1930 without type designation from three included species.

Prosturmina Mesnil, 1951: 161 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Unavailable; genus-group name proposed after 1930 without type designation or included species.

Prosturmina Mesnil, 1970: 111 (subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Type species: Sturmia vigilans Villeneuve, 1933 , by original designation.

Current status: Available from Mesnil (1970); invalid, junior synonym of Palexorista Townsend, 1921 [teste Crosskey (1980: 871)].

Tamaromyia

Tamaromyia Mesnil, 1949a: 104. Type species: Exorista tamara Portschinsky, 1884 (as “ Tamaromyia tamara Portsch. ”), by monotypy.

Tamaromyia Mesnil, 1952: 226. Type species: Exorista tamara Portschinsky, 1884 , by original designation.

Current status: Available from Mesnil (1949a); invalid, junior synonym of Calozenillia Townsend, 1927 [teste Crosskey (1980: 869)].

Remarks. Tamaromyia was previously thought to be unavailable from its listing in the key in Mesnil (1949a) because it did not have an included species or a type species fixation ( Crosskey 1980: 869; O’Hara 1996: 129). Although there is not an included species where the genus-group name is mentioned in the key (p. 104), there is a single species ( tamara Portschinsky ) mentioned in combination with the genus-group name on p. 103, and thus the type species is fixed in Mesnil (1949a) by monotypy.
