Senometopia Macquart View in CoL View at ENA

Senometopia Macquart, 1834: 296 View in CoL . Type species: Sturmia atropivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL by subsequent designation (Stephens in Richardson, 1838: 478).

Originally Included species: Sturmia atropivora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Sturmia floricola View in CoL Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Sturmia concolor Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Tachina mitis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Tachina variegata Meigen, 1824 View in CoL ; Tachina meditata Meigen, 1824 View in CoL ; Tachina angustipennis Meigen, 1824 View in CoL ; Carcelia lepida Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Carcelia bombylans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Carcelia puparum Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Carcelia macrocera Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Carcelia distincta View in CoL Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Carcelia nigripes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Carcelia amoena Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Carcelia aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 View in CoL ; Tachina alacris Meigen, 1824 View in CoL ; Smidtia myoidea View in CoL Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830.

Family: Tachinidae .

Current status: Valid genus [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 217)].

Remarks: Contemporary catalogs ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits, 1993: 217; O’Hara et al., 2009: 78) have given the typification for this genus-group name as Carcelia aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by subsequent designation of Townsend (1916: 8). An earlier designation of Sturmia atropivora Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 by Desmarest in d’Orbigny (1848: 552) was found by Evenhuis & Thompson (1990: 237) in their research on the Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle and the one by Stephens in Richardson (1838: 478) was found here during research on the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana. However, if either the Stephens in Richardson (1838) or Desmarest in d’Orbigny (1848) designations were accepted it would cause instability of nomenclature and taxonomy of Senometopia by placing it as a senior synonym of Zygobothira Mik, 1891. Eocarcelia Townsend, 1919 would then be the next available name to use for the species currently placed in the subgenus Senometopia . Application to the ICZN to suppress the designations of Stephens (1838) and Desmarest in d’Orbigny (1848) is being submitted (O’Hara & Evenhuis, in prep.).
