24. Flabellifera

[ Flabellifera ] Meigen, 1800: 13.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Tanyptera Latreille, 1804 (currently a subgenus of Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 ) [teste Sabrosky (1999: 139)].

Flabellifera Osten Sacken, 1882: 193 .

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None.

FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Tipula pectinicornis Linnaeus, 1758 ; Tipula bimaculata Linnaeus, 1761 ; Tipula atrata Linnaeus, 1758 ; Tipula flaveola Fabricius, 1794 (in Hendel 1908: 45).

TYPE SPECIES: Tipula atrata Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent designation ( Coquillett 1910a: 545).

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Tanyptera Latreille, 1804 (currently a subgenus of Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 ]. New Synonymy.

FAMILY: TIPULIDAE .

REMARKS: Flabellifera was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 13) 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]). Osten Sacken (1882: 193) was the first subsequent usage of the name Flabellifera after Meigen (1800) where he listed it in synonymy with Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 , but did not include any species. Hendel (1908: 45) included four nominal species. The name was made available from Osten Sacken (1882) by action of Coquillett (1910a: 545), who treated the name as valid and designated Tipula atrata Linnaeus, 1758 as its type species. Oosterbroek & Theowald (1992: 59) listed Flabellifera (with author and date as Meigen, 1800) as a synonym of Ctenophora Meigen but listed its type species, Tipula atrata Linnaeus, 1758 , under Tanyptera Latreille, 1804 . We follow Sabrosky (1999: 139) in treating Tanyptera as a subgenus of Ctenophora , thus Flabellifera Osten Sacken, 1882 is a junior synonym of Tanyptera Latreille, 1804 , n. syn. Latreille (1802: 422) listed “ flabelliferes ” in synonymy with “ Tipula pectinicornis ; atrata Lin. ” but its usage there is unavailable because it is a vernacular name.
