526. Thelaira Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 214 (as “ Thelaïra ”).

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Thelaira abdominalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Thelaira bifasciata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (with “An Dexia bifasciata? Meig. ” in doubtful synonymy).

TYPE SPECIES: Thelaira abdominalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca solivagus Harris, 1780 ], by subsequent designation ( Townsend, 1916: 9).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 389)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Dexia bifasciata Meigen, 1826 was doubtfully synonymized, so it cannot be considered as an originally included species, thus the nominal species Thelaira bifasciata is attributable to Robineau- Desvoidy.

[ Thelesina ] Monceaux in Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 535.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; proposed in synonymy with Onesia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and not made available before 1961; treated under Onesia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [teste this work].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: The name Thelesina appears in a footnote explicitly written by Monceaux on his own behalf, and this is why we attribute the name to him and not to Robineau-Desvoidy. Townsend (1916: 11) referred to his discussion of Marsilia to indicate his same presumptions for Thelesina . Although Townsend stated that the type species was the same as that for Onesia , he did not remove the name from synonymy with Onesia , thus Thelesina remains unavailable.
