348. Mycosia Rondani, 1861e: 12 .

TYPE SPECIES: Mycetomyza sciarina Rondani, 1856 , automatic [by designation of the same species (by original designation) for Mycetomyza Rondani, 1856 ].

CURRENT STATUS: New replacement name for Mycetomyza Rondani, 1856 (as “ Mycetomiza ”); valid genus [ teste Marschall (1873: 338) ]; treated here as a nomen dubium .

FAMILY: MYCETOPHILIDAE .

REMARKS: There are two original spellings of this genus-group name in Rondani (1861e): Mycosia (page 12) and Micosia (page 169). Acting as First Reviser, we select Mycosia as the correct original spelling, which relegates Micosia (q. v.) to unavailable name status. Neither Mycosia nor Mycetomyza has been treated in any of the recent regional catalogs; but Mycetomyza Rondani, 1856 and the species-group name Mycetomyza sciarina Rondani, 1856 are listed by Bisby et al. (2011) as “accepted names”. Marschall (1873: 338) listed both names in his nomenclator. Skuse (1888: 1147) listed both names simply as “insufficiently characterized”. Kertész (1902: 311) listed both Mycetomyza Rondani, 1856 and Mycosia Rondani, 1861 , as well as the species Mycetomyza sciarina Rondani, 1856 in his index, but did not catalog any of them or place the genus-group names in synonymy with any other genusgroup name. Since Mycosia Rondani, 1861 has not been studied or cataloged by specialists since its original description, we treat it here as a nomen dubium .
