72. Boisduvalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 730 View in CoL .
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Boisduvalia rutilans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Boisduvalia testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Boisduvalia nitida Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Boisduvalia cyanea Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Boisduvalia tibialis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .
TYPE SPECIES: Boisduvalia rutilans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by subsequent designation ( Duponchel in d’Orbigny , 1842a: 637) .
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Evenhuis & Thompson (1990: 233)].
FAMILY: PLATYSTOMATIDAE .
REMARKS: The family placement is provisional. Although Macquart (1835: 437) placed the type species rutilans in the genus Ortalis Fallén, 1810 [ Ulidiidae ], Loew (1873: 18) synonymized this genus-group name with Rivellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 . The genus has not been treated in the major regional Diptera catalogs and comprises five species: one Oriental, two Afrotropical, and two patria ignota. The genus-group name is not to be found in the platystomatid chapters of the Oriental catalog ( Steyskal, 1977) or Afrotropical catalog ( Steyskal, 1980). Hendel (1914b: 169) did treat the genus [in his “Platystominae”] and designated Boisduvalia rutilans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as type species but this was later than the designation in d’Orbigny (1842a).
