254. Hylemya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 550 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Hylemya strenua Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya plebeia Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Musca plebeia . Fabric. Anthomyia Meig. ”); Hylemya silvicola Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya luteipes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya hyemalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya tibialis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya vivida Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya nigripes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya rustica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya liturata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya flavipennis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya florea Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Hylemya autumnalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya flavoptera Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Hylemya arvensis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Hylemya agrestis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Hylemya strenua Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca vagans Panzer, 1798 ], by subsequent designation ( Rondani, 1866: 74).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Sabrosky (1999: 163)].

FAMILY: ANTHOMYIIDAE .

REMARKS: Rondani (1856: 96) designated Musca strigosa “Fall. ” but this was not a valid designation because it was not an originally included species. Rondani (1866: 74) was the first valid designation by including Hylemya strenua Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 as a synonym of Musca strigosa Fabricius, 1794 . Dely- Draskovits (1993: 63) mistakenly gave the type species as Musca vagans Panzer, 1798 as designated by Rondani (1866: 74). Musca vagans Panzer, 1798 is the oldest taxonomically valid species because Musca strigosa Fabricius, 1794 is preoccupied by Musca strigosa Gmelin, 1790 , but it was not the nominal species name designated by Rondani (1866: 74). Although Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 551) described a “ Hylemya plebeia . Fabr.” and cited under it “ Musca plebeia . Fabric. Anthomyia Meig. ”, there is no nominal species that either Fabricius or Meigen described that could be considered the same as Robineau-Desvoidy’s species. Coquillett (1910: 554) stated that Hylemya plebeia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 was a new species and we treat it as such here.

EMENDATIONS: Hylemyia Macquart, 1835: 315 (unjustified); Hylemia Marié, 1930: 227 (unjustified), n. syn.
