467. Rhinia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 422 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Rhinia testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Rhinia testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by monotypy .

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Rognes (2002: 27)].

FAMILY: RHINIIDAE .

REMARKS: The type species has been listed as a junior synonym of Idia apicalis Wiedemann, 1830 in previous catalogs and works, but this is incorrect. Robineau-Desvoidy’s 1830 paper came out 6 June while Wiedemann’s 1830 paper came out less than three months later in September [see References in this paper for dating of the former and Evenhuis (1997: 822) for dating of the latter]. The name Rhinia testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 does not fulfill the requirements for a nomen oblitum (used as valid by, e.g., Senior-White et al. 1924), and we are therefore following strict priority.
