164. Ensina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 751 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Ensina chrysanthemi Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Ensina herbarum Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Ensina pratensis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Ensina linariae Robineau-

Desvoidy, 1830; Ensina scorzonerae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Ensina doronici Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Ensina scorzonerae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca sonchi Linnaeus, 1767 ], by subsequent designation ( Foote & Freidberg, 1981: 30).

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Norrbom et al. (1999: 143)].

FAMILY: TEPHRITIDAE .

REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1830: 753) included Musca sonchi Linnaeus, 1767 (as “An Musca Sonchi ? Fabr.”) in a tentative synonymy with Ensina scorzonerae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , but it was not an originally included species as it was doubtfully included. Westwood’s (1840: 149) designation of Musca sonchi Linnaeus, 1767 is therefore invalid.
