- 15. Cyanea [Cyanea] Meigen & Baumhauer in Meigen, 1800: 8, 40. CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; work suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]); treated under Melophagus Latreille, 1802 [teste Pape & Thompson (2013)]. REMARKS: In his introduction to the Meigen (1800) paper, Baumhauer also gave characters to make available Cyanea in this work, so he is co-author with Meigen for this name. However, this is now irrelevant since all the names herein are unavailable after action by the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 687]) to suppress the work. [Cyanea] Bezzi, 1907a: 56. CURRENT STATUS: Unavailable name; criteria to make the name available not fulfilled in this work. REMARKS: Bezzi (1907a) included this name only in a list of Meigen 1800 names without stating their availability. Cyanea Meigen in Hendel , 1908: 67. ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None. FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Hippobosca ovina Linnaeus, 1758 [this work]. TYPE SPECIES: Hippobosca ovina Linnaeus, 1758, by present designation. CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Cyanea Péron & Lesueur, 1810; Cyanea Agassiz, 1846; junior synonym of Melophagus Latreille, 1802. New Synonymy. FAMILY: HIPPOBOSCIDAE. REMARKS: Cyanea was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 40) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Cyanea was not mentioned again until Hendel (1908: 67), where he made the name available by reproducing Meigen’s single character for it: “ Sans antenne ” and treating it as valid, which makes Meigen the author in Hendel (1908). In discussing unusual forms of flies, Walckenaer (1802: 424) discussed Meigen’s fly, allegedly without antennae, and cited Meigen’s (1800) pamphlet (p. 417), but did not mention Cyanea by name. In a footnote to his work, Hendel (1908: 68) indicated that Bezzi (in litt.) surmised that this taxon was the same as either Nycteribia Latreille, 1797 or Melophagus Latreille, 1802. Pape & Thompson (2013) treated Cyanea under Melophagus Latreille, 1802. We include Hippobosca ovina Linnaeus, 1758 as the first expressly included species and designate it as the type species of Cyanea Meigen in Hendel, 1908, which places it as an objective junior synonym of Melophagus Latreille, 1802, n. syn.
