316. Melinda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 439 View in CoL View at ENA .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Melinda caerulea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (with “ An Musca caerulea? Meig. ” in doubtful synonymy); Melinda albiceps Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Melinda leucocera Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Melinda azurea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Melinda coelestis Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Melinda soror Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Melinda gentilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Melinda caerulea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by subsequent designation ( Townsend, 1916: 7).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Rognes (1991: 199)].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: Schumann (1986: 31) and Rognes (1991: 199) attributed the type designation to Hendel (1901a: 32), who gave “Typ. caerulea Mg. ”. However, Musca caerulea Meigen, 1826 was doubtfully included (in doubtful synonymy with Melinda caerulea Robineau-Desvoidy ), thus type designations of this nominal species are invalid. The first valid type designation is of Melinda caerulea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 by Townsend (1916: 7).
