22. Euphrosyne

[ Euphrosyne ] Meigen, 1800: 16.

FAMILY: KEROPLATIDAE .

REMARKS: Euphrosyne was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 16) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Hendel (1908: 47) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat Euphrosyne as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author. Hendel’s (1908) single species, given as “ Tip. longicornis?”, is questionably included and, as such, is not allowed under Article 67.2.5 of the ICZN Code. The first included species fulfilling the conditions of the Code was in Coquillett (1910a: 542) who selected Macrocera lutea Meigen, 1804 as type species by subsequent designation. Macrocera lutea Meigen, 1804 is currently treated in Macrocera Meigen, 1803 [teste Evenhuis (2006: 31)], which makes Euphrosyne Meigen in Hendel, 1908 a junior synonym of Macrocera Meigen, 1803 , n. syn.
