281. Limnia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 685 View in CoL View at ENA .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Limnia limbata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Musca limbata . Fabr.”); Limnia claripennis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Limnia marginalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Musca marginata Fabricius, 1775 ; Limnia dejeanii Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Limnia limbata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca unguicornis Scopoli, 1763 ], by subsequent designation ( Cresson, 1920: 75).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Rozkošný & Elberg (1984: 185)].

FAMILY: SCIOMYZIDAE .

REMARKS: It cannot be excluded that Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 685) was referring to Musca limbata Gmelin, 1790 (which is an objective synonym of Musca marginata Fabricius, 1775 and now treated in Coremacera Rondani, 1856 [ Sciomyzidae ]), when he wrote: “ Musca limbata Fabr. ”. On page 686, Robineau-Desvoidy stated: “ Cette espèce [ Limnia marginata ] et le L. limbata sont vrais Muscae marginata et limbata, ainsi nommés par M. Bosc , et ainsi étiquetés par lui dans sa collection, où Fabricius en prit la description. Je rapporte ce fait, parce que, dans une autre collection de Paris , j’ai vu le Musca marginata étiqueté du nom de Musca limbata . L’étiquette était de la main même de Fabricius.” This change of the type species to Musca limbata Gmelin, 1790 would upset the stability of the two genera.
