Evenhuis, Neal L. & O’Hara, James E., 2008, The status of Mesnil’s 1949 Die Fliegen genus-group names (Diptera: Tachinidae), Zootaxa 1827, pp. 65-68 : 66

Paradrino

Paradrino Mesnil, 1949a: 103 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Type species: Sturmia halli Curran, 1939 (as “ Paradrino Halli Curr. ”), by monotypy.

Paradrino Mesnil, 1949b: 8 , 35 (as subgenus of Drino Robineau-Desvoidy ). Type species: Sturmia halli Curran, 1939 , by monotypy.

Current status: Available from Mesnil (1949a) [valid teste Crosskey (1980: 872), but at that time dated from Mesnil (1949b)].

Remarks. Paradrino was previously thought to be unavailable from its listing in the key in Mesnil (1949a) because it did not have an included species or a type species fixation ( Crosskey 1980: 872; O’Hara 1996: 127). Although there is not an included species where the genus-group name is mentioned in the key (p. 103), there is a single species ( halli Curran ) mentioned in combination with the genus-group name on p. 100, and thus the type species is fixed in Mesnil (1949a) by monotypy.

Paragonia

Paragonia Mesnil, 1949a: 100 . Unavailable; keyed out but no included species.

Paragonia Mesnil, 1950: 106 . Type species: Paragonia portentosa Mesnil, 1950 , by monotypy. [Preoccupied by Paragonia Hübner, 1823 .]

Current status: Available from Mesnil (1950); invalid, replaced by Mesnilius Özdikmen, 2006 .
