24. Andrina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863a: 835 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tachina lentis Meigen, 1824 (as “ Masicera senilis: Meig. ”).

TYPE SPECIES: Tachina lentis Meigen, 1824 (as “ Masicera senilis: Meig. ”) [= Tachina spathulata Fallén, 1820 ], by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Ramonda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 (subgenus of Periscepsia Gistel, 1848 ) [teste this work].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 836) wrote the following concerning the type species: “ D’après l’étiquette du Muséum, cette espèce est originaire d’ALLEMAGNE. Meigen en avait d’abord fait une MASICERA ; depuis il la rapporta parmi les CLISTES, ainsi que le prouve l’étiquette actuelle du Muséum, vérifiée en 1853 ”. It appears Robineau-Desvoidy misread “lentis” as “senilis” on the handwritten label of the specimen upon which he based the description [see Herting (1984: 191, note 112)]. Herting & Dely- Draskovits (1993: 377) treated Andrina as a junior synonym of Ramonda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 and O’Hara & Wood (2004: 65) treated Ramonda as a subgenus of Periscepsia Gistel, 1848 .
