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 : 27

9. Chrysozona

[ Chrysozona ] 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 Haematopota Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 89)].

Chrysozona Hendel, 1903: 58 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None.

FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Tabanus pluvialis Linnaeus, 1758 [as “ Tab. pluvialis F.”] (in Hendel 1908: 54).

TYPE SPECIES: Tabanus pluvialis Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent monotypy (in Hendel 1908: 54).

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Haematopota Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: TABANIDAE .

REMARKS: Chrysozona was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 23) without included species and later made unavailable from that publication 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]). Hendel (1903: 58) proposed Chrysozona in synonymy by treating it as a synonym of Haematopota Meigen, 1803 , but did not give characters to differentiate it nor did he include any species. Hendel (1908: 58) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat it as valid, which makes the name available from Hendel (1903). Hendel (1908: 58) also included the first species mentioned by Meigen (1800), Tabanus pluvialis Linnaeus, 1758 , which is the type species by subsequent monotypy. Tabanus pluvialis is currently treated in Haematopota Meigen, 1803 [teste Daniels (1989: 291)], which makes Chrysozona Hendel, 1903 a junior synonym of Haematopota Meigen, 1803 , n. syn. Bezzi (1908d: 375) also used the name Chrysozona as valid with one included species ( Chrysozona ochracea Bezzi, 1908 ), but this was probably published after Hendel’s (1908) work appeared.
