167. Ephyra Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 156 .
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Phorinia micromera Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Ephyra laeta Robineau- Desvoidy, 1863.
TYPE SPECIES: Phorinia micromera Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Tachina selecta Meigen, 1824 ], by original designation.
CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Péron & Lesueur, 1810; Duponchel, 1829; Roux, 1831; junior synonym of Bessa Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 142)].
FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .
REMARKS: When Monceaux put together Robineau-Desvoidy’s 1863 work, he indicated in a footnote (1863b: 156) that the name Ephyra was not a good choice since it was preoccupied in the “Médusaires” (= Péron & Lesueur, 1810), the “Lépidoptères” (= Duponchel, 1829), and the “Crustacés” (= Roux, 1831); but he refrained from taking the liberty of proposing a different name and kept the name in Robineau- Desvoidy’s manuscript.
