Nemorhina Robineau-Desvoidy 1830

Description

354. Nemorhina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 389

ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Nemorhina palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.

TYPE SPECIES: Nemorhina palpalis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, by monotypy.

CURRENT STATUS: Treated under Glossina Wiedemann, 1830 [teste Pont (1980a: 764)].

FAMILY: GLOSSINIDAE.

REMARKS: Nemorhina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 is occasionally used as a valid subgenus, e.g., Sutton & Carlson (1997) or included species are referred to as the Glossina palpalis group, e.g., Mohamed-Ahmed & Mihok (1999). Robineau-Desvoidy (1830) came out on 6 June while Wiedemann’s 1830 paper came out less than three months later in September [see References in this paper for dating of the former and Evenhuis (1997: 822) for dating of the latter], which means Nemorhina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 predates Glossina Wiedemann, 1830. However, acceptance of this priority would upset the nomenclature of the medically important Glossina, for which there is an extensive literature. Thus, application to the ICZN Commission for reverse priority between Nemorhina and Glossina when treated in synonymy is in preparation.

EMENDATIONS: Nematorhina Agassiz, 1846b: 247 (unjustified).
