373. Nodicornis Rondani, 1843d: 46 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Nodicornis wiedemanni Rondani, 1843 (as “ Wiedmani. Mihi.”).

TYPE SPECIES: Nodicornis wiedemanni Rondani, 1843 (as “ Wiedmani. Mihi.”) [= Sybistroma nodicornis Wiedemann, 1824 ], by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Sybistroma Meigen, 1824 [ teste Yang et al. (2006: 202 ; as “ Nordicornis ”)].

FAMILY: DOLICHOPODIDAE .

REMARKS: Rondani (1843d) used the spelling “ wiedmani ”, while subsequent workers have been using the spelling “ wiedemanni ”. The latter is here considered to be in prevailing usage as demonstrated by the recent usage in the following: Negrobov (1991: 81), Brooks (2005: 113), and Yang et al. (2006: 202). There is no indication in the original work itself for whom the species is being named, thus Article 32.5.1 cannot be invoked to make a mandatory change in the original orthography, and “ wiedemanni ” has to our knowledge never been proposed as an emendation under any of the criteria in Article 33.2.
