Synonyms
Ornithomyia pallida Say, 1823 (nec Ornithomya pallida Olivier (in Latreille), 1811; junior primary homonym, see note below)
Ornithomya pallida (Say, 1823)
Ornithomyia fringillina Curtis, 1836
Ornithomya fringillina (Curtis, 1836)
Note: the names Ornithomyia pallida Say, 1823 and Ornithomya pallida
Olivier (in Latreille), 1811 are primary homonyms: although there is a
one-letter difference in the genus name (Ornithomyia vs. Ornithomya)
(Article 56.2.), the spelling Ornithomyia is actually an unjustified
emendation or incorrect spelling of the correct original spelling
Ornithomya. According to Article 11.9.3.2. of the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature "a species-group name is deemed to have been
published in combination with the correct original spelling of the
generic name, even if it was actually published in combination with an
emendation or incorrect spelling of the generic name". Thus, the taxon
by Say, 1823 is deemed to have been published as "Ornithomya pallida"
and is therefore a junior primary homonym of Ornithomya pallida Olivier
(in Latreille), 1811. The younger name Ornithomya fringillina is
therefore the valid name.
