Evenhuis, Neal L. & Pape, Thomas, 2017, Battling the un-dead: the status of the Diptera genus-group names originally proposed in Johann Wilhelm Meigen’s 1800 pamphlet, Zootaxa 4275 (1), pp. 1-74 : 26-27

8. Chrysops

[ Chrysops ] Meigen, 1800: 23.

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 Chrysops Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 88)].

Chrysops Meigen, 1803: 267 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tabanus caecutiens Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tabanus caecutiens Fabr. ”].

TYPE SPECIES: Tabanus caecutiens Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tabanus caecutiens Fabr. ”], by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Sabrosky (1999: 88)].

FAMILY: TABANIDAE .

REMARKS: Chrysops was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 23) 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]). Meigen (1803: 267) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon and to treat Chrysops as valid, which makes the name available from that work. Meigen (1803: 274) included the single species Tabanus caecutiens Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tabanus caecutiens Fabr. ”], which is the type species by monotypy.
