99. Chloe Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 560 (as Chloë ).

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Chloe silvicola Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Chloë silvicola . R. D.”).

TYPE SPECIES: Chloe silvicola Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Chloë silvicola . R. D.”), by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Berthold, 1827; junior synonym of Hydrophoria Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [teste Griffiths (1998: 1884)].

FAMILY: ANTHOMYIIDAE .

REMARKS: Evenhuis & Thompson (1990: 245) treated Chloe as questionably included in Anthomyiidae and Bisby et al. (2008) listed it as a junior synonym of Delia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 . The only originally included nominal species, Chloe silvicola , was first interpreted by Barták et al. (1990: 443), who considered it as conspecific with Hydrophoria annulata auctt., nec Pandellé, 1899, and the name Hydrophoria silvicola ( Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) has subsequently been in use for that species. Dely- Draskovits (1993) did not include Chloe and mistakenly referred to the sole included species as Hylemya silvicola Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 551 [a junior synonym of Hylemya nigrimana ( Meigen, 1826) ], rather than to Chloe silvicola Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 561 . This mistake was corrected by Griffiths (1998: 1884), who also formally established the synonymy of Chloe with Hydrophoria .
