123. Clorisoma Rondani, 1856: 168 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Sargus pallipes Meigen, 1830 .

TYPE SPECIES: Sargus pallipes Meigen, 1830 [= Sargus flavicornis Meigen, 1822 ], by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Microchrysa Loew, 1855 [ teste Woodley (2001: 202) ].

FAMILY: STRATIOMYIDAE .

REMARKS: Verrall in Scudder (1882: 71) listed the spelling Chlorosoma and this was cited as an unjustified emendation by Woodley (2001: 202), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Scudder (1882). Chlorosoma Verrall, 1882 is thus an unavailable name, new status.

EMENDATIONS: Chlorisoma Rondani, 1861e: 11 (unjustified), n. syn.

[Clorops] Rondani, 1856: 125.

CURRENT STATUS: Incorrect subsequent spelling of Chlorops Meigen, 1803 .

FAMILY: CHLOROPIDAE .

REMARKS: The earliest mention of Chlorops Meigen, 1803 using the spelling “ Clorop s” that we have found in this study is in Guérin-Méneville (1845: xxii), 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 “ch” to “c” in the same work). We thus follow ICZN Code Article 33.5 in treating this spelling in Rondani (1856) as an incorrect subsequent spelling.
