16. Calopterella Coquillett, 1910c: 517 , 616.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 ; Diastata adusta Meigen, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Diastata adusta Meigen, 1830 , automatic [the same species by subsequent designation for Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 by Coquillett (1910c: 616)].

CURRENT STATUS: New replacement name for Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 ; junior synonym of Diastata Meigen, 1830 [ teste Mathis & Barraclough (2011: 243) ].

FAMILY: DIASTATIDAE .

REMARKS: In proposing the replacement name Calopterella for the preoccupied Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 , Coquillett (1910c: 517; Calopterella mislabeled as “new genus”, but it was obviously meant to replace Trichoptera Lioy , which is clearly indicated as “preoccupied”) designated Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 as its type species. At the time of Coquillett’s (1910c) work, Trichoptera Lioy was without a type species, so a type fixation was needed from the two originally included species. In the same work, but further on alphabetically under the entry for Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 , Coquillett (1910c: 616) indicated Calopterella was a new replacement name for Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 and designated Diastata adusta Meigen, 1830 as the type species for Calopterella . Thus, there are two type species for the same generic concept. Fortunately, Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 [December] was described subsequent to (and was not one of the two species originally included in) Trichoptera by Lioy (1864 [22 June]) [which were Diastata adusta Meigen, 1830 and Diastata claripennis Macquart, 1835 ], so Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 is an invalid designation on page 517. The type species for both Calopterella Coquillett, 1910c and Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 is thus Diastata adusta Meigen, 1830 . Mathis & Barraclough (2011: 243) interpreted Coquillett’s Calopterella on page 517 as a proposal of a new genus (not a new replacement name), acted as First Revisers, and chose the nomenclatural act of Calopterella (page 517) over Calopterella (page 616). However, since Coquillett was replacing Trichoptera Lioy, 1864 , which was clearly marked as preoccupied, their First Reviser action is invalid as the type fixation of Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 on page 517 because it a species that was not originally included in Lioy (1864).

[ Carphotriche ] Coquillett, 1899j: 264.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Carphotricha Loew, 1862c .

FAMILY: TEPHRITIDAE .

REMARKS: Criteria to make this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in this work.

[Cassidomyia] Coquillett, 1890: 234.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Cassidaemyia Macquart, 1835 or subsequent usage of Cassidomyia by Packard (1869).

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Criteria to make this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in this work. The earliest mention of Cassidaemyia Macquart, 1835 that I have found in this study using the spelling “ Cassidomyia ” is by Packard (1869: 408) as an incorrect subsequent spelling [ teste this study].
