I saw that it is used many times the synonym (?) Gymnocheta and not the correct (?) Gymnochaeta. *http://bugguide.n...27/bgimage *Gymnocheta Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 Gymnochaeta ; (missp.?) Gymnocheta (Linnaemyini) ; [FiDip] IN ftp://ftp.funet.f...index.html tells Gymnichaeta could be a misspelling.. So I'm not sure now. Can you clarify this, please, Theo? Thank you. |

Let me repeat: I do correct evident misspellings, even if this might not be allowed by the taxonomic police. Gymnocheta simply gives me a headache and is therefore bad for my health. But anyone how persists in writing Gymnocheta: be my guest. I write Gymnochaeta, like the late Benno Herting did. Theo |

Thanks Theo. You confirmed my idea about the correct name. There are some errors even in the untrusty faunaeur like those wrote by Rondani.  |

Hello, jorgemotalmeida wrote:There are some errors even in the untrusty faunaeur like those wrote by Rondani. You mean Roondany, the man who made spelling errors faster than he wrote ? By the way, St?phane (Grapelli), not the dipterist we like, when he was in the States, recorded several disks under the name Grapelly because he disliked to be named grapelai. Pierre Duhem |

yep, that guy: "Roondany"  that has many errors.Authors, like Rondani, in particular, had a very bad spelling of Greek and Latin. For example: he spelled Italian, writing the letter e instead of ae (like Gymnocheta BUT THE CORRECT IS really Gymnochaeta as Theo confirmed) and mya instead of myia (example: Rhynchomya - that appears in the faunaeur BUT THE CORRECT is Rhynchomyia).

For those who don't know who is Rondani (really R?ndani) I'm referring to this one: http://en.wikiped...C3%B3ndani

For example: he spelled Italian, writing the letter e instead of ae When the simplification of the italian orthography happened (which is not a bad thing per se), it was rather difficult to keep together the ethymology and the orthography. I hope I made less than the average number of errors in my sentence. Pierre Duhem |
