128. Cyzenis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863a: 544 View in CoL View at ENA .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Cyzenis haemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 ; Cyzenis vernalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 .

TYPE SPECIES: Cyzenis haemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [= Tachina albicans Fallén, 1810 ], by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 236)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 545) listed “ Phryno haemisphoerica: Rob. Desv. ” and “ Eurigaster haemisphaerica: Rob. Desv. ” below the heading “ Cyzenis haemisphaerica , R.-D.” He removed the former from synonymy in the errata of the same work ( Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 918), writing “[page] 545, [lignes] 8 et 9, Phryno hoemisphoerica , supprimer ces deux lignes”. Although this obstensibly left “ Eurigaster haemisphaerica ” in synonymy with Cyzenis haemisphaerica, Robineau-Desvoidy clearly intended this name to be deleted as well. “ Eurigaster haemisphaerica ” of Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 545) is a reference to an earlier work (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1848: 436) wherein this name is used as a changed combination for Phryno hemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 144) . Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 595) recognized Eurigaster Macquart, 1834 as a valid genus and included “ Eurigaster haemisphaerica ” as a valid (but misspelled) species with the original (but misspelled) combination of “ Phryno hoemisphaerica ” below it (page 597). Cyzenis haemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 is therefore a new species-group name with no names in synonymy. The type species of Cyzenis was correctly cited as Cyzenis haemisphaerica [as “ hemisphaerica ”] by Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 236) but O’Hara & Wood (2004: 169) overlooked the errata of Robineau-Desvoidy (1863b: 918) and cited Phryno hemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as the misidentified type species, then invoked ICZN Code Article 70.3.2 to fix Tachina albicans Fallén, 1810 as type species. There are two original spellings for the type species of Cyzenis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 : haemisphaerica (Robineau- Desvoidy, 1863a: 545) and hemisphoerica ( Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 875). Acting as First Reviser, we select haemisphaerica as the correct original spelling.
