7. Chrysogaster View in CoL

[ Chrysogaster View in CoL ] Meigen, 1800: 32.

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 Chrysogaster Meigen, 1803 [teste Peck (1988: 133)].

Chrysogaster Meigen, 1803: 274 View in CoL .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca cemiteriorum Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Syrphus coemiteriorum ... Fabr.”], Syrphus metallina Fabricius, 1777 View in CoL , “ Syrphus umbrarum Fabr. ”.

TYPE SPECIES: Musca cemiteriorum Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ coemiteriorum Fabricius ”], by subsequent designation ( Coquillett 1910a: 523).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Peck (1988: 133)].

FAMILY: SYRPHIDAE .

REMARKS: Chrysogaster was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 32) 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: 274) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon and to treat Chrysogaster as valid, which makes the name available from that work. Meigen (1803: 274) included three nominal species: Musca cemiteriorum Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Syrphus coemiteriorum ... Fabr.”], Syrphus metallina Fabricius, 1777 , “ Syrphus umbrarum Fabr. ” [the third included name “ Syrphus umbrarum Fabr. ” was never described and is a nomen nudum ‛]. Drapiez’s (1837: 416) designation of “l’ Eristalis coemiteriorum de Fab. , est le type de la première division de ce genre, et le Chrysogaster elegans, Meig. , celui de l’autre”, is invalid because two type species are designated for the same genus. Zetterstedt (1843: 816) designated Musca solstitialis Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Chrysogaster solstitialis ”] with “ Musca coemiteriorum Linn. ” in questionable synonymy, thus this is also invalid. Coquillett (1910a: 523) designated Musca cemiteriorum Linnaeus, 1758 (as “ coemiteriorum Fabricius ”) and is the earliest subsequent designation for Chrysogaster Meigen, 1803 .
