58. Botria Rondani, 1856: 68 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Botria pascuorum Rondani, 1856 (as “ B. Pascuorum Mihi”).

TYPE SPECIES: Botria pascuorum Rondani, 1856 (as “ B. Pascuorum Mihi”) [= Tachina frontosa Meigen, 1824 ], by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 237 ; as “ Bothria ”)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: There are two original spellings of this genus-group name in Rondani (1856): Botria (page 68) and Bothria (page 203). Both names were used again by Rondani (1859): Botria (pages 155 [in the dative, plural “ Botriis ”], 167) and Bothria (page 233). By subsequent usage (ICZN Code Article 24.2.4), Rondani (1862b: 10) acted as First Reviser and selected Botria as the correct original spelling. Although Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 237) gave the method of type fixation for Botria (as “ Bothria ”) in Rondani (1856: 68) as by original designation, they listed the type species as dating from Rondani (1859b: 168). This is incorrect. The characters in Rondani (1856: 68) that make the genus-group name available serve to also make available Botria pascuorum as the singly included species.

59, Brachicheta Rondani, 1861e: 36 , 37.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Frontina spinigera Rondani, 1861 (as “ B. Spinigera Mihi”).

TYPE SPECIES: Frontina spinigera Rondani, 1861 (as “ B. Spinigera Mihi”) [= Tachina strigata Meigen, 1824 ], by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 255 ; as “ Brachychaeta ”)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Originally proposed as a subgenus of Frontina Meigen, 1838 . The printing of the genus-group name in Rondani (1861e: 36) appears to be “BRACHICHITA” but a close examination of the original publication shows the “E” in Brachicheta to be filled in so it looks like an “I”. The Junk 1914 facsimile edition has exacerbated the printing problem by making it appear even more like an “I” than in the original. Both the original spelling Brachicheta and the emended spelling Brachychaeta have been used in recent literature. Because neither is in prevailing usage, the valid name for the genus is the original spelling Brachicheta .

EMENDATIONS: Brachychaeta Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889: 107 (unjustified), n. syn.; Brachychaeta Bezzi & Stein, 1907: 357 (unjustified).
