CURRENT STATUS: Valid subgenus of Cordilura Fallén, 1810 [ teste Huckett & Vockeroth (1965: 828)].

FAMILY: SCATHOPHAGIDAE .

[ Aecothea] Coquillett, 1910c: 503.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Oecothea Haliday in Curtis, 1837 or subsequent usage of Aecothea Haliday, 1838 .

FAMILY: HELEOMYZIDAE .

REMARKS: Criteria to make this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in this work. The earliest mention of Oecothea Haliday in Curtis, 1837 that I have found in this study using the spelling “ Aecothea ” is Aecothea Haliday (1838: 187) as an unjustified emendation [ teste Thompson & Mathis (1980: 86)].
