Mulio Fabricius, 1798: 548 , 557.

Type species: Musca bicincta Linnaeus, 1758 (the 1st of nine originally included species), by present designation. Junior homonym of Mulio Latreille, 1797 . Senior but invalid objective synonym of Chrysotoxum Meigen, 1803 View in CoL (type species: Musca bicincta Linnaeus, 1758 ) ( Syrphidae View in CoL ).

Remarks. The first usage of the name Mulio by Latreille (1797) was for species of the family Bombyliidae . Fabricius (1798) proposed Mulio for nine species belonging to the families Syrphidae (7), Psilidae (1) and Sciomyzidae (1), but subsequently (1805) exclusively for 12 species of Syrphidae . Fabricius’s usage of Mulio received limited acceptance in the early literature (e.g., by C.F. Fallén), probably because Meigen (1803) transferred species recognized in Mulio by Fabricius (1798) to two new genera of Syrphidae ( Microdon Meigen , Chrysotoxum ) and one new genus of Psilidae ( Loxocera Meigen ).
