17. Amenia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 443 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Amenia imperialis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Musca leonina Fabricius, 1775 (as “ Amenia leonina . R. D.”).

TYPE SPECIES: Musca leonina Fabricius, 1775 , by subsequent designation ( Macquart, 1844: 116 [273]) .

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Kurahashi (1989: 716)].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: Although the second included species is listed as “ Amenia leonina . R. D.”, it is clear that Robineau-Desvoidy was not describing a new species but was treating Musca leonina Fabricius since he stated after the diagnosis of the genus-group name “ Je pense que la réunion de tous ces caractères empêchera aisément de confondre ce genre avec les Chrysomyes. Il renferme les plus belles Muscides connues. Il faut sans doute lui rapporter le Musca leonina de Fabricius. ”
