Paleotachina Townsend, 1921: 134. Type species: Paleotachina smithii Townsend, 1921 (= Spilogaster gigas Stein, 1906, syn. n.), by monotypy. Syn. n.

Remarks.

The genus-group names Aethiopomyia and Paleotachina were both made available in 1921. The paper by Malloch (1921) was published on May 1 ( Evenhuis 2003) and the paper by Townsend on October 3 ( Evenhuis 1994), thus giving date priority to Aethiopomyia .
