466. Rhedia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 74 .
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Rhedia vernalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia testacea Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Rhedia vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia sicula Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia bombylans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia capensis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia diversa Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia fulva Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Rhedia atra Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830.
TYPE SPECIES: Rhedia vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Gonia atra Meigen, 1826 ], by subsequent designation ( Coquillett, 1910: 600).
CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Gonia Meigen, 1803 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 257)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .
REMARKS: Coquillett (1897: 132) stated that Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 74) proposed Rhedia as a replacement name thinking Gonia Meigen was preoccupied in mollusks. A check of Robineau-Desvoidy (1830) shows this not to be the case. Robineau-Desvoidy’s actual words when proposing this genusgroup name are “ Ce genre, que je consacre à la mémoire de Fr. Rhédi, fait partie du G. Gonia des entomologistes allemands ”. Thus, he was proposing it for only a part of the genus Gonia and not replacing it. Robineau-Desvoidy’s (1851f: 309) spelling of “ Redia ” is not an emendation but an incorrect subsequent spelling of Rhedia .
EMENDATIONS: Redia Bezzi & Stein, 1907: 362 (unjustified), n. syn.
