Tome XIV, AN XIII,” which is equivalent to 1805. The spec- 
ies included under that reference is Musca solstitialis Fab. 
(1781) which seems to be a homonym of the present Urophora 
solstitialis Linn. (1758) and a synonym of the present Uro- 
phora aprica Fall. (1820). It will be seen that Coquillett’s 
designation makes Urophora Desv. (1830) a synonym of 
Tephritis Latr. (1805), thus confusing the present idea of the 
genus Tephritis. This however is happily averted as will be 
seen below. 
Prof. Bezzi in his Indian Trypetidae (1913) cites Musca 
leontodontis Deg. (1776) as the type species of Tephritis Latr. 
(1805) or, as he quotes the reference, “Hist.d.Crust.et Ins., xiv, 
389, (1804).” This species was not included under the original 
description of Tephritis Latr., either in 1804 or 1805, and so 
cannot be the type species of that genus. He evidently is try- 
ing to retain the name for the genus as it is now or has been 
recognized, but his method is impossible. It is strange how the 
above mentioned “Dictionnaire d’Histoire Naturelle” has been 
repeatedly overlooked or ignored by most students. It how- 
ever furnishes an agreeable solution to the present confusion 
surrounding this genus in the fact that Musca arnica Linn. 
(1758) is a typical Tephritis as the genus is now known and 
is one of the species originally included under the first refer- 
ence to this name, and IJ herewith designate that species (Musca 
arnica Linn.) as the type species of Tephritis Latr. (1804). 
Tephritis platyptera Lw. (1862) is not a typical Tephritis 
on account of its broad wings and radiating arrangement of 
the marginal spots ; furthermore the foremost dorsocentral bris- 
tle is removed back from the sutural region to nearly opposite 
the supra-alar bristles. It seems to belong to Campiglossa 
Rond., but a study of Tephritis irrorata Fall. is necessary to 
make this certain. 
Trupanea Schrank. 
This name was evidently first used in 1795 in the “Briefe 
Donaumoor.” I have not been fortunate enough to have seen 
this publication and so must take the record at second-hand. 
The original wording is Trupanea, but Prof. Bezzi uses an
