173. Erigone Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 65 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Erigone anthophila Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Erigone scutellaris Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Erigone myophoroidaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (as “ Erigone myophoroïdaea . R. D.”); Erigone puparum Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Erigone flavipennis Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830; Erigone tessellans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Erigone viridulans Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 ; Erigone dubia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Erigone anthophila Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 , by subsequent designation ( Townsend, 1932: 42).

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Audouin, 1826; senior (but invalid) synonym of Eurithia Robineau- Desvoidy, 1844 [teste Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 297)].

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a: 151) designated “ Musca radicum, Fabr. ”, but synonymized under that name were two originally included species ( Erigone anthophila and E. scutellaris ), thus this designation is invalid. Townsend (1932: 42) is the earliest valid designation of a single included nominal species. Townsend (1939: 250) designated the same species but this was later.
