• Pales Osten Sacken, 1882 [invalid name; Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. Osten Sacken (1882) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability (see Evenhuis & Pape 2017)].
• Pales Bezzi, M. 1906. Noch einige neue Namen für Dipterengattungen. Zeitschrift für Systematische Hymenopterologie und Dipterologie 6: 49-55 [54] [Preoccupied by Pales Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Pales Koch, 1850 and Pales Gray, 1866. In his discussion of Pales Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Bezzi (1906) mentioned that there was an earlier use of Pales by Meigen, 1800, and although he had not seen that work he provisionally accepted Meigen’s name as a senior homonym, which makes the name available from Bezzi (1906) [cf. ICZN Code Article 11.6.1]; although he failed to include any species. Hendel (1908) gave characters for the genus-group name (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and included the first species, Tipula dorsalis Fabricius, 1781, which is thus the type species by subsequent monotypy. Tipula dorsalis Fabricius, 1781 is currently treated in Nephrotoma Meigen, 1803, which makes Pales Bezzi, 1906 a junior synonym of Nephrotoma Meigen, 1803 (Evenhuis & Pape 2017)].

  Type species:

   Tipula dorsalis Fabricius, 1781 (Oosterbroek & Theowald (1993) gave the method of typification for Pales as by subsequent designation, but this is incorrect. Hendel (1908) did not designate a type species but merely listed a single species, so the typification is by subsequent monotypy (Evenhuis & Pape 2017).) by subsequent monotypy, see Hendel, F. 1908.
