Coenosia Meigen, 1826 and coenosiinae Verrall, 1888 (Insecta, Diptera, muscidae): usage of the genus-group and family-group names conserved
Abstract

Under the plenary power, the Commission has conserved the usage of the generic name Coenosia Meigen, 1826, for a well-established genus of muscid flies. All type fixations for Coenosia Meigen, 1826 prior to that of Musca tigrina Fabricius, 1775 by Westwood (1840) have been set aside. Also under the plenary power, the family-group name coenosiinae Verrall, 1888 has been given precedence over limosiinae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 whenever the two are placed in the same family-group taxon.
