35. Argyrella Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 87 View in CoL .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Argyrella dissimilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 ; Argyrella festinans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 .

TYPE SPECIES: Argyrella dissimilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [= Tachina argyrocephala Meigen, 1824 ], by subsequent designation ( Townsend, 1916: 6).

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Metopia Meigen, 1803 [teste Pape (1996: 97)].

FAMILY: SARCOPHAGIDAE .

REMARKS: An earlier type-species designation by Coquillett (1910: 509) of Musca leucocephala Rossi, 1790 is invalid as it was not an originally included species. Coquillett may have been misled that it was an originally included species since Robineau-Desvoidy (1863b: 87) mentioned in the note under Argyrella dissimilis “semblable à l’ Arg. leucocephala ”, but this is in reference to “ Argyria leucocephala ” and not a species in Argyrella .
