99. Petia Coquillett, 1910d: 126 View in CoL .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Petia calva Coquillett, 1910d .

TYPE SPECIES: Petia calva Coquillett, 1910d , by original designation .

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Catharosia Rondani, 1868 [ teste O’Hara & Wood (2004: 212) ].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Previous catalogs [e.g., O’Hara & Wood (2004)] have listed Petia Coquillett, 1910d as being preoccupied by Petia Gray, 1839 . A check of the literature shows this not to be the case. Petia Gray, 1839 (Reptilia) is an unavailable name since it was originally proposed in synonymy and was not treated as an available name before 1961.

[ Phalacromyia View in CoL ] Coquillett, 1895b: 131.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Phalacromya Rondani, 1848 or subsequent usage of Phalacromyia Costa, 1866 .

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: Criteria to make this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in this work. The earliest mention of Phalacromya Rondani, 1848 that I have found in this study using the spelling “ Phalacromyia ” is Phalacromyia Costa, 1866 as an unjustified emendation [ teste O’Hara et al. (2011: 141) ].
