533. Tilesia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 364 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tilesia frontalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 .

TYPE SPECIES: Tilesia frontalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 , by monotypy .

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Lamouroux, 1821; Swainson, 1838; no new replacement name proposed; treated as nomen dubium [teste this work].

FAMILY: SARCOPHAGIDAE .

REMARKS: Although originally proposed in our current concept of the family Tachinidae , which placement was followed by Bezzi & Stein (1907), Herting (1974: 41) stated that the description of Tilesia places it the Miltogramminae of the Sarcophagidae , possibly because of the statement “ Viviparisme constaté ”. Until a specimen of the type species is recognized, we treat it as a nomen dubium.
