476. Rutilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 319 View in CoL View at ENA .
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca leonina Fabricius, 1776 ; Rutilia formosa Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Musca formosa . Donavan”); Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805 ; Rutilia durvillei Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .
TYPE SPECIES: Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805 , by subsequent designation ( Crosskey, 1967: 26) .
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Cantrell & Crosskey (1989: 744)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .
REMARKS: Townsend (1916: 8) had long been considered as the earliest subsequent designation for Rutilia Robineau-Desvoidy , but the species “ Rutilia vivipara RD ” designated by Townsend does not exist and is ambiguous because it could either mean a species misidentified by Robineau-Desvoidy as Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805 or the true Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805 . Noting that Townsend’s (1916) and other previous type-species designations were invalid, Crosskey (1967: 26) clearly laid out the nomenclatural history of Rutilia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and designated Tachina vivipara Fabricius, 1805 as the type species.
