2. Acidia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 720 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Acidia guerini Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Tephritis cognata Wiedemann, 1817 (as “ Tephrytis cognata . Wintheim”).

TYPE SPECIES: Tephritis cognata Wiedemann, 1817 , by subsequent designation [ Rondani, 1870: 10 (as “ Tripeta cognata . Mgn.”)].

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Norrbom et al. (1999: 67)].

FAMILY: TEPHRITIDAE .

REMARKS: White (1986: 146) assumed that the type species designated by Rondani (1870: 10) of “ Tripeta cognata . Mgn.” was a misidentification; and therefore considered the earliest designation not based on a misidentification to be that of Tephritis cognata Wiedemann by Hendel (1914a: 85). White’s (1986) assumption was incorrect and Rondani’s designation, although getting the authorship incorrect, is valid under the ICZN Code.
