152. Cyrtophloeba Rondani, 1856: 207 . ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tachina ruricola Meigen, 1824 . TYPE SPECIES: Tachina ruricola Meigen, 1824 , by original designation. CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 384 ; as “ Cyrtophleba ”)]. FAMILY: TACHINIDAE . REMARKS: There are two original spellings of this genus-group name in Rondani (1856): Cyrtophleba (page

68) and Cyrtophloeba (page 207). By subsequent usage (ICZN Code Article 24.2.4), Rondani (1859b:

187) acted as First Reviser and selected Cyrtophloeba as the correct original spelling. Although

Rondani (1859b) used two different spellings of this genus-group name, Cyrtophloeba (page 187) and

Cyrthophlaeba (page 235), he satisfied Article 24.2.4 by using only one of the original (1856)

spellings ( Cyrtophloeba ) as valid (Cyrthophlaeba was not one of the original spellings). The spelling Cyrtophleba is widely used, but as an incorrect original spelling it is neither eligible as a nomen protectum (ICZN Code Article 23.9.2) or for consideration under prevailing usage (ICZN Code Article 33.3.1). The correct original spelling Cyrtophloeba has been used as the correct original spelling after 1899 by, e.g., Rocha-e-Silva et al. (1999).

EMENDATIONS: Cyrthoplaeba Rondani, 1857: 13 (unjustified), n. syn.

[ Cystogaster ] Rondani, 1868a: 49.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Cistogaster Latreille, 1829 or subsequent usage of Cystogaster Walker, 1856 .

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: The earliest mention of Cistogaster Latreille, 1829 using the spelling “ Cystogaster ” that we have found in this study is Cystogaster Walker (1856 : xviii), n. syn., as an unjustified emendation made available by virtue of the original and changed spellings being printed together and the changed spelling being adopted.
