30. Aplomya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 184 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Aplomya nitens Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Aplomya zonata Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830.

TYPE SPECIES: Aplomya zonata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Tachina confinis Fallén, 1820 ], by subsequent designation ( Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863a: 459).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 183)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 459) designated as type species Tachina confinis Fallén, 1820 , which was not originally included by Robineau-Desvoidy (1830) in Aplomya . Tachina confinis was placed in synonymy in that work as “ Masicera zonata: Macq. - Buff. II, p. 120, no. 1”, which refers to Phryxe zonata Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 159) and not Aplomya zonata Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 185) . However, as Sabrosky (1999: 51) indicated, the discussion by Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 459) explains that he considered Phryxe zonata and Aplomya zonata to be synonymous: “ Sons [sic] le nom Phryxe zonata et d’ Aplomya zonata , j’avais donné un double emploi au même Insecte ...”, thus the type designation is valid under ICZN Code Article 69.2.2. Townsend (1916: 6) designated Aplomya nitens Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 as type species, but this was later.

EMENDATIONS: Aplomyia Agassiz, 1846a: 3 (unjustified), n. syn.; Haplomyia Agassiz, 1846b: 172 (unjustified).
