ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 194 (key), 197 (description).

TYPE LOCALITY: “ vel in Liguria vel in Pedemontio [Liguria as well as Piedmont ( Italy)]” .

TYPE MATERIAL: 2 ♀♀, syntypes (one missing fore-, left mid- and hind-legs) ( MZUF: Box 13): Tachina Mgn / brucorum Rnd. / 683.

CURRENT STATUS: doubtful species of Exorista (Adenia) Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 ( Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 133).

REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 197) described Tachina brucorum from just the female sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length, despite there being two specimens in the type series found in this study: “ Foeminam tantum observavi, in collectione Mussino [I observed only the female in Mussino’s collection]”. Giuseppe Mussino collected both in Piedmont and in Liguria. Herting (1969: 191) reported two females in the MZUF; we consider these as syntypes.
