14. Crocuta View in CoL

[ Crocuta View in CoL ] Meigen, 1800: 39.

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 Siphona Meigen, 1803 [teste O’Hara & Wood (2004: 302)].

[ Crocuta View in CoL ] Bezzi, 1907a: 56.

CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work.

REMARKS: Bezzi (1907a) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability.

Crocuta Bezzi, 1907b: 414 View in CoL

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None.

FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 (in Coquillett 1910a: 528).

TYPE SPECIES: Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 , by subsequent designation ( Coquillett 1910a: 528).

CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Crocuta Kaup, 1828 ; junior synonym of Siphona Meigen, 1803 . New Synonymy.

FAMILY: TACHINIDAE .

REMARKS: Crocuta was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 39) 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]). Bezzi (1907b: 414) was the first after Meigen (1800) to treat Crocuta as valid (being the senior synonym of Siphona Meigen, 1803 ), but he did not include any species. Hendel (1908) gave characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) but also did not include any species. Coquillett (1910a: 528) was the first to include a species ( Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 ), which is the type species by subsequent designation. Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 is currently treated in Siphona Meigen, 1803 [teste O’Hara & Wood (2004: 302)], which makes Crocuta Bezzi, 1907 a junior synonym of Siphona Meigen, 1803 , n. syn. Stone (1941: 409) treated Crocuta as a synonym of Bucentes Latreille, 1809 because Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 was its type species. Siphona Meigen, 1803 was originally proposed including a (later determined as misidentified) single species “ Stomoxys irritans Fab. ”. Workers had interpreted Siphona as either being a tachinid or as a muscid. Sabrosky (1971) gave details on the confusion in his application to the ICZN Commission. The ICZN Commission (I.C.Z.N. 1974: 157 [Opinion 1008]) solved the problem by designating Musca geniculata De Geer, 1776 as the type species of Siphona Meigen, 1803 , which makes Siphona Meigen, 1803 an objective senior synonym of Bucentes Latreille, 1809 .
