CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Blainville, 1828; Latreille, 1829; senior (but invalid) synonym of Nowickia Wachtl, 1894 (subgenus of Tachina Meigen, 1803 ) [teste O’Hara & Wood (2004: 325)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: An unfortunate result of the presentation of the manuscript of Robineau-Desvoidy’s Myodaires to the Académie des Sciences for their approval of publication and the resulting summary “ Rapport ” by Blainville et al. (1826) is that some of the information presented in the manuscript was noted by the committee members reviewing it and by their colleagues and then appeared in print in works published before Robineau-Desvoidy (1830). In those works, the new genera of Robineau-Desvoidy ended up with the authorship of others. One of these casualties was Fabricia .
