130. Dalmannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 248 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Myopa gemina Wiedemann, 1824 ; Dalmannia meridionalis Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Myopa punctata Fabricius, 1794 (with Myopa virens Meigen, 1804 [as “ Myopa virens . Fallén”] in synonymy); Myopa flavescens Meigen, 1824 ; Dalmannia stigma Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Dalmannia flavipes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Myopa gemina Wiedemann, 1824 [= Conops aculeatus Linnaeus, 1767 ], automatic [by designation of the same species (by subsequent designation of Desmarest in d’Orbigny, 1848: 798) for Stachynia Macquart, 1835 ].

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Sabrosky (1999: 106)].

FAMILY: CONOPIDAE .

REMARKS: Previous catalogers [e.g., Chvála & Smith (1988: 270), Sabrosky (1999: 106)] have listed the type designation for Dalmannia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as Myopa punctata Fabricius, 1794 by subsequent designation of Rondani (1856: 59). However, Macquart (1835: 36) substituted [although unnecessarily] Stachynia Macquart, 1835 for Dalmannia Robineau-Desvoidy , which automatically takes the same type species. An earlier type-species designation for Stachynia of Myopa gemina Wiedemann, 1824 by Desmarest in d’Orbigny (1848: 798) was found by Evenhuis & Thompson (1990), which thus becomes the type species for Dalmannia . Since Myopa gemina is currently treated in Dalmannia ( Chvála & Smith, 1988: 271) , there is no change in generic concept with this change of type species.

EMENDATIONS: Dalmania Robineau-Desvoidy, 1853a: 146 (unjustified).
