TYPE SPECIES: Erycia villica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by subsequent designation ( Townsend, 1916: 7).
CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by King, 1850; no new replacement name proposed; placed in “Doubtful taxa in Tachinidae ” by Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 436).
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .
REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy’s (1863a: 584) type-species designation of Erycia villica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 was not for the genus Ismenia but for the tribe “Ismenidae”. Sabrosky (1999: 167) contended that “Since there is only one genus in the tribe, that is virtually a designation for the genus also, and I have accepted it as such”. We do not agree with this interpretation, and accept Townsend’s (1916) designation as the earliest one for the genus.
