Genus Tachydromia Meigen, 1803
- Coryneta Meigen, J.W. 1800. Nouvelle classification des mouches à deux ailes (Diptera L.) d'après un plan tout nouveau. Paris : Perronneau pp. 1-40. [This publication suppressed by the I.C.Z.N.] [27] [invalid name; Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of ICZN (1963)].
- Coryneta Bezzi, M. 1907. Nomenklatorisches über Dipteren. Wiener Entomologische Zeitung 26: 51-56 [56] [invalid name; Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. Bezzi (1907) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability (Evenhuis & Pape 2017)].
- Coryneta Meigen in Hendel, 1908 [Hendel (1908) was the first after Meigen (1800) to give characters to differentiate the taxon (reproducing Meigen’s characters) and to treat Coryneta as valid, which makes the name available from that work with Meigen as author. Hendel (1908) included two species: Musca cursitans Fabricius, 1775 and Musca cimicoides Fabricius, 1779, but did not designate a type species. Coquillett (1910) designated Tachydromia connexa Meigen, 1803 as type species, but this was not originally included and there are no other published type designations for this genus-group name. To fix the name, Evenhuis & Pape select Musca cimicoides Fabricius, 1779 [= Musca arrogans Linnaeus, 1761], by subsequent designation. Musca cimicoides Fabricius, 1779 is currently treated in Tachydromia Meigen, 1803, which makes Coryneta Meigen in Hendel, 1908 a junior synonym of Tachydromia Meigen, 1803 (Evenhuis & Pape 2017)].
