TYPE SPECIES: Musca caesar Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent designation ( Macquart, 1834b: 162) .

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Rognes (1991: 147)].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: The designation of a type species for Lucilia by Macquart (1834b: 162) has been accepted by all the major Diptera catalogs although he used the vernacular name rather than the scientific: “ Ce genre, dont le type est la mouche César de Linné ”. The next valid type designation for Lucilia is by Westwood (1840: 141), which is also of Musca caesar Linnaeus, 1758 .
