REMARKS: The I.C.Z.N. (1988b: 236 [Opinion 1507]) put the name Musca marginalis Wiedemann, 1830 on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology and the name Chrysomya regalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , which at that time was in general use as the valid name for this taxon (e.g., Pont 1980b: 789, Schumann 1986: 40) due to the preoccupation of Musca marginalis Wiedemann, 1830 by Geoffroy [often as Fourcroy], 1785 and Fallén, 1824 was put on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Species Names in Zoology. Musca marginalis Wiedemann, 1830 (as “Marginalis del Fabricius”) was designated as the type of Chrysomya by Rondani (1863: 27), but this designation is invalid as it was of a species that was not originally included.

EMENDATIONS: Chrysomyia Macquart, 1835: 251 (unjustified), n. syn.; Chrysomyia Agassiz, 1846b: 85 (unjustified).
