Genus Euribia Latreille, 1802
- Euribia Latreille, P.A. 1802. Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière des Crustacés et des Insectes. Ouvrage faisant suite à l’histoire naturelle générale et particulière, composée par Leclerc de Buffon, et rédigée par C.S. Sonnini, membre de plusieurs sociétés savantes. Familles naturelles des genres. Tome troisième. Paris : F. Dufart xii + 13–467 + [1] pp. [An "X" (title page = 1802)] [458] [Latreille (1802: 458) was the first subsequent usage of Euribia after Meigen (1800) where Euribia was placed in synonymy with Musca Linnaeus, 1758, sensu lato, and included two species: Musca umbellatarum Fabricius, 1775 and Musca cardui Linnaeus, 1758. The name was made available by subsequent usage as valid in Hendel (1908). Coquillett (1910) designated Musca artemisiae Fabricius, 1794 as type species of Euribia [with Meigen as author], but, although this was one of the four nominal species included by Hendel (1908), it was not one of the two originally included species in Latreille (1802), thus it is an invalid designation. Hendel’s (1927) designation of Musca cardui Linnaeus, 1758 is the first valid typification of Euribia . Musca cardui Linnaeus, 1758 is currently treated as a species of Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, which makes Euribia Latreille, 1802 a senior synonym of Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. Since the inclusion of species in Trypeta Meigen (1803) and Meigen’s (1804: xxi) synonymization of Trypeta Meigen, 1803 with Latreille’s (1802) “caudatae” [which is the group that Euribia was placed in synonymy with by Latreille (1802)], subsequent works treating the Meigen 1800 names (e.g., Coquillett 1910; Stone 1941) have synonymized Euribia with Trypeta Meigen, 1803. However, Hendel’s (1927) type designation of Musca cardui Linnaeus, 1758 fixed the generic concept of Euribia as synonymous with Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. Despite the suppression of Meigen (1800), Euribia has been used as a valid name at least up to 1974 (Lin & Tseng 1974) and more than 60 of the 209 species-group taxa currently listed in Urophora [see Norrbom et al. (1999: 241)] were originally described in Euribia. It is not currently clear, but if a strong case could be made that this change of name would threaten the stability of nomenclature and taxonomy, then an application should be submitted to the ICZN Commission to conserve Urophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 over Euribia Latreille, 1802 (Evenhuis & Pape 2017).].
