484. Rainieria Rondani, 1843d: 40 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Rainieria calceata Rondani, 1843 .

TYPE SPECIES: Rainieria calceata Rondani, 1843 , by original designation .

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Sabrosky (1999: 265) ].

[ Ramphidia ] Rondani, 1856: 181, 221.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Rhamphidia Meigen, 1830 .

FAMILY: LIMONIIDAE .

REMARKS: The earliest mention of Rhamphidia Meigen, 1830 using the spelling “ Ramphidia ” that we have found in this study is in Boitard (1843: 277), as an incorrect subsequent spelling. In Rondani (1856) this is either an incorrect subsequent spelling or unjustified emendation (by virtue of similar spelling changes in two or more names from “rh” to “r” in the same work). We thus follow ICZN Code Article 33.5 in treating this spelling in Rondani (1856) as an incorrect subsequent spelling. Rhamphidia Meigen, 1830 is currently treated as a junior synonym of Helius Le Peletier & Serville, 1828 [ teste Savchenko et al. (1992: 320) ].
