Araba Robineau-Desvoidy 1830

Description

31. Araba Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 127.

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Tachina fastuosa Meigen, 1824; Araba philanthi Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Tachina argyrocephala Meigen, 1824; Araba minuta Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Musca leucocephala Rossi, 1790 (as “ Tachina leucocephala. Meig.”); Araba obscura Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Araba assimilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Araba squamipallens Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Araba grisea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Araba fulva Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.

TYPE SPECIES: Tachina argyrocephala Meigen, 1824, automatic [by designation of the same species (by original designation of Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 88) for Arabella Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863].

CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Metopia Meigen, 1803 [teste Pape (1996: 97)].

FAMILY: SARCOPHAGIDAE.

REMARKS: To make the genus-group name orthography conform in a more euphonious manner with his French vernacular for the genus (“Arabette”), Robineau-Desvoidy (1863b: 88) changed the spelling of his 1830 Araba to Arabella (an unjustified emendation for Araba) and designated a type species for Arabella (see also No. 32, Arabella below).

EMENDATIONS: Arabella Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863b: 88 (unjustified).
