224 R- W. CROSSKEY 



Wiedemann described this species from specimens in Frankfurt Museum. Herting 



(pers. comm.) informs me that Dr Tobias searched for the types in the Frankfurt collection 



but was unable to find them. 

 alacris Wiedemann, 1830 : 303 (Tachina). Holotype <J, Indonesia: Java, Djakarta 



( = Batavia) (UZM, Copenhagen) [examined]. [Junior primary homonym of Tachina 



alacris Meigen, 1824.] 

 civiloides Baranov, 1932a : 84 (Eutachina). Lectotype $ (by designation of Sabrosky & 



Crosskey, 1969 : 42), Formosa: Kankau, Koshun (DEI, Eberswalde) [examined]. 

 [fallax Meigen sensu authors (misidentification)] 

 yunnanica Chao, 1964*2:369, 374. Holotype q*> China: Yunnan (ZICA, Peking). - China 



(Yunnan). 



Genus PHORCIDELLA Mesnil 



Phorcidella Mesnil, 1947 : 42. Type-species: Eutachina basalis Baranov, 1932, by original 



designation. 

 basalis Baranov, 1932a : 86 (Eutachina). Holotype <J, Formosa: Koshun, Kankau (DEI, 



Eberswalde) [examined]. - Formosa. 



Genus PHORINIA Robineau-Desvoidy 



Phorinia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 : 118. Type-species :Phorinia aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy, 



1830, by subsequent designation of Robineau-Desvoidy (1863 (1) : 491). (France). 

 aurifrons Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 : 118. Type(s) [? sex], France: Saint-Sauveur (lost). - 



Nepal, Vietnam (North) ; widespread Europe. 



Mesnil (19606 : 632) reported aurifrons from Tonkin (North Vietnam) but the record 



needs confirmation (as closely allied species of uncertain identity occur in the Oriental 



Region). 

 flavipalpis Baranov in Hennig, 1941 : 194. Nomen nudum (no later validation). 

 Undetermined sp. (yellow palpi). - Nepal, Vietnam (South), Thailand. 

 Undetermined sp. (dark palpi). -Malaysia (Malaya, Sabah). 



Genus STOMATOMYIA Brauer & Bergenstamm 



Stomatomyia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 : 98 (30). Type-species: Chetogena filipalpis 



Rondani, 1859, by monotypy. (Italy). 

 Plagiprospherysa Townsend, 1892a : 113. Type-species: Plagiprospherysa valida Townsend, 



1892 [= Prospherysa parvipalpis Wulp, 1890], by original designation. (North America). 

 Plagiprosopherysa. Incorrect subsequent spelling of Plagiprospherysa Townsend (Malloch, 



T 935c : 576). 

 acuminata Rondani, 1859 : 180 (Chetogena). Syntypes [? sex], Italy (MZ, Florence). - 



Indonesia (Celebes), Malaysia (Sabah); Australia; S. Palaearctic Region, Japan, 



? West Africa. 



Oriental and Australian records for this species are based upon identifications by Malloch 



(1930a ; 1935c) and need confirmation. 

 bezziana Baranov, 1934a : 48. Lectotype q* (by designation of Crosskey, 1966a : 673), 



Ceylon: Batticaloa (BMNH, London) [examined]. -Ceylon. (Possibly = innocens). 

 Rao & Sudha Rao (1964) cite Mesnil as considering that bezziana is a (senior) synonym 



of approximata Villeneuve, which might or might not be synonymous with acuminata 



Rondani. It is possible that the names innocens, acuminata, bezziana and approximata 



apply to a single widespread species. If so, the valid name will be innocens Wiedemann.
