183. Eggisops Rondani, 1862d: 152 , 177.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Eggisops pecchiolii Rondani, 1862 .

TYPE SPECIES: Eggisops pecchiolii Rondani, 1862 , by monotypy .

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Schumann (1986: 20) ].

FAMILY: CALLIPHORIDAE .

REMARKS: There are conflicting views on whether to treat Eggisops as a valid genus ( Schumann, 1986; Rognes, 1991b) or as a subgenus within or synonym of Melanomya Rondani, 1861 ( Downes, 1986; Pape, 1988b). Verrall in Scudder (1882: 123) listed the spelling Engyzops and this was cited as an emendation by Bezzi & Stein (1907: 502, “ em. Scudd. 1882”), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Scudder (1882). Engyzops Verrall, 1882 is thus an unavailable name, new status. Note that Eugyops of Bezzi & Stein (1907: 502) is a misspelling of Engyops Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 and not Eggisops Rondani, 1862 .

EMENDATIONS: Engyops Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889: 124 (unjustified); Engyzops Bezzi & Stein, 1907: 502 (unjustified), n. syn.

[Eggizoneura] Rondani, 1868c: 200 [1869e: 109].

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Egginoseura Rondani, 1861.

FAMILY: SCIOMYZIDAE .

REMARKS: Criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in these works.
