Evenhuis, Neal L. & Pape, Thomas, 2017, Battling the un-dead: the status of the Diptera genus-group names originally proposed in Johann Wilhelm Meigen’s 1800 pamphlet, Zootaxa 4275 (1), pp. 1-74 : 36

25. Fungivora

[ Fungivora ] Meigen, 1800: 16.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Mycetophila Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 140)].

[Fungidora] Bezzi, 1907a: 56.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. REMARKS: Bezzi (1907a) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability; this is a misspelling of Fungivora Meigen, 1800 .

Fungivora Meigen in Hendel, 1908: 48 .

FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Tipula fungorum De Geer, 1776 [as “ Tipula fungivora ”]; Tipula agarici Villers, 1789 [as ... “ agarici Deeg. ”] (in Hendel 1908: 48).

TYPE SPECIES: Tipula agarici Villers, 1789 , by subsequent designation ( Coquillett 1910a: 545).

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Mycetophila Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: MYCETOPHILIDAE .

REMARKS: Fungivora was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 16) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Hendel (1908: 48) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat Fungivora as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author. Hendel (1908) included two nominal species. Coquillett (1910a: 545) designated the second of these two, Tipula agarici Villers, 1789 , which is the type species by subsequent designation. Tipula agarici Villers, 1789 is currently treated in Mycetophila Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 140)], which makes Fungivora Meigen in Hendel, 1908 a junior synonym of Mycetophila Meigen, 1803 , n. syn.
