12. Clythia

[ Clythia ] Meigen, 1800: 30.

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 Platypeza Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 92)],

Clythia Hendel, 1903: 58 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None.

FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Platypeza fasciata Meigen, 1804 (in Coquillett 1910a: 525).

TYPE SPECIES: Platypeza fasciata Meigen, 1804 , by subsequent designation ( Coquillett 1910a: 525).

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Clythia Menge in Koch & Berendt, 1854 ; junior synonym of Platypeza Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: PLATYPEZIDAE .

REMARKS: Clythia was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 30) 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]). Hendel (1903: 58) treated Clythia in synonymy with Platypeza Meigen, 1803 , but did not include any species. Bezzi & Stein (1907: 186) listed Clythia as a questionable synonym of Platypeza Meigen, 1803 . Hendel (1908: 58) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat Clythia as valid, which makes the name available from Hendel (1903). Hendel (1908) did not include any species. Coquillett (1910a: 525) was the first to include a species ( Platypeza fasciata Meigen, 1804 ), which is the type species by subsequent designation. Platypeza fasciata Meigen, 1804 is currently treated in Platypeza Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 92)], which makes Clythia Hendel, 1903 a junior synonym of Platypeza Meigen, 1803 , n. syn.
