Woodley — Cyelogaster 
27 
synonymy for Lasiopa, the senior generic name, results: 
Lasiopa Brulle, 1832: 307. Type-species: L. peleteria Brulle, 1832: 308 (by monotypy). 
Cyelogaster Macquart, 1834: 256. Type-species: Nemotelus villosus Fabricius, 1794: 
270 (by present designation). 
Inermvia Bigot, 1856: 82. Type-species: Stratiomys edentu/a Wiedemann, 1824: 29 
(by original designation, op. cit. :63). 
Neotropiealias Kirkaldy, 1910: 8; replacement name for Cyelogaster Macquart, 1834, 
nee Gronovius, 1763. Type-species: Nemotelus villosus Fabricius, 1794: 270 (by 
autotypy). 
The above type-species designation thus stabilizes the long-used 
synonymy of Cyelogaster with Lasiopa, while retaining the name 
Laboeerina Enderlein for the Neotropical Stratiomys atrata Fabri- 
cius. The name Neotropicalias Kirkaldy became an unnecessary, 
and therefore invalid, replacement name when Cyelogaster Grono- 
vius was rejected by the I. C. Z. N. ruling.
