56. Bombylisoma Rondani, 1856: 164 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Bombylius sulphureus Mikan, 1796 (as “ Bombylius Sulphureus Fabr. ”).

TYPE SPECIES: Bombylius sulphureus Mikan, 1796 (as “ Bombylius Sulphureus Fabr. ”), sensu Rondani, 1856 [misidentification; = Bombylius minimus Scopoli, 1763 ], by original designation.

CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [ teste Evenhuis & Greathead (1999: 102) ].

FAMILY: BOMBYLIIDAE .

REMARKS: The “Corrigenda” in Rondani (1861e: 8) indicated that the genus-group name Bombylisoma should be changed to Dischistus Loew, 1855 , but this was an act of synonymy and not a new replacement name. Marschall (1873: 323) listed the spelling Bombylosoma and this was cited as an unjustified emendation by Zaitzev (1989a: 84), but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Marschall (1873). Similarly, Zaitzev (1989a: 84) cited the spelling Bombyliosoma of Verrall in Scudder (1882: 47) as an unjustified emendation, but criteria for making this name available as an emendation were not found to be fulfilled in Scudder (1882). Bombylosoma Marschall, 1873 and Bombyliosoma Verrall, 1882 are thus unavailable names, new status.

EMENDATIONS: Bombylosoma Loew, 1862a: 208 (unjustified), n. syn.
