27. Hermione View in CoL

[ Hermione View in CoL ] Meigen, 1800: 22.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Oxycera Meigen, 1803 [teste Woodley (2001: 244)].

[ Hermione View in CoL ] Bezzi, 1907a: 56.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. REMARKS: Bezzi (1907a) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability.

Hermione Bezzi, 1908b: 76 View in CoL , 83.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca graeca Pontoppidan, 1763 ; Musca hypoleon Linnaeus, 1767 [as “ Hermione (Oxycera) hypoleon L. 1767”]; Musca trilineata Linnaeus, 1767 [as “ trilineata Fab. 1781 ”].

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Hermione Blainville, 1828 ; Hermione Leach in Gray, 1852 ; Hermione Forbes & Goodsir, 1840 ; Hermione Meyrick, 1883 ; junior synonym of Oxycera Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: STRATIOMYIDAE .

REMARKS: Hermione was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 22) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Bezzi (1908b: 76, 83) was the first after Meigen (1800) to treat Hermione as valid, which makes the name available from that work. Bezzi (1908b: 83) included three nominal species: Musca graeca Pontoppidan, 1763 , Musca hypoleon Linnaeus, 1767 [as “ Hermione (Oxycera) hypoleon L. 1767”] and Musca trilineata Linnaeus, 1767 [as “ trilineata Fab. 1781 ”]. Coquillett (1910a: 551) selected Musca hypoleon Linnaeus, 1767 , which is the type species by subsequent designation. Musca hypoleon Linnaeus, 1767 is currently treated in Oxycera Meigen, 1803 [teste Woodley (2001: 244)], which makes Hermione Bezzi, 1908 a junior synonym of Oxycera Meigen, 1803 , n. syn. Hendel (1908: 53) treated Hermione as a synonym of Oxycera Meigen, 1803 , which he placed as a junior synonym of “ Hypoleon Duméril, 1801 (sec. O.-S.)”. However, Hypoleon was not made available until Duméril (1805) [usage of it in Duméril (1800: [table between pages 438 and 439]) and Latreille (1802: 448) is as “ Hypoléon ” and is vernacular], so Oxycera Meigen, 1803 is the seniormost synonym of Hermione Bezzi, 1908 .
