[ Rhodogyne ] Meigen, 1800: 39.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Gymnosoma Meigen, 1803 [teste Herting & Dely- Draskovits (1993: 404)].

[ Rhodogyne ] Bezzi, 1907a: 56.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. REMARKS: Bezzi (1907a) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability.

Rhodogyne Meigen in Hendel, 1908: 66 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca rotundata Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ M. rotundata Fab. ”].

TYPE SPECIES: Musca rotundata Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ M. rotundata Fab. ”], by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Gymnosoma Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Rhodogyne was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 39) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Hendel (1908: 66) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat Rhodogyne as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author. Hendel (1908) included one species, Musca rotundata Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ M. rotundata Fab. ”], which is the type species by monotypy. Musca rotundata Linnaeus, 1758 is currently treated in Gymnosoma Meigen, 1803 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 404)], which makes Rhodogyne Meigen in Hendel, 1908 a junior synonym of Gymnosoma Meigen, 1803 , n. syn.
