Knut ROGNES (443-471): Bengalomania - A review of Andy Z. Lehrer?s book on Bengalia Robineau- Desvoidy, 1830 and related works (Diptera, Calliphoridae). - [Bengalomania - Eine Besprechung von Andy Z. Lehrers Buch ?ber Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 und verwandte Publikationen (Diptera, Calliphoridae).] Abstract: Three recent works of Andy Z. Lehrer are reviewed, with a main emphasis on the book ?Bengaliidae du Monde (Insecta: Diptera)?. The proposed classification of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 is rejected. All new family-group names, viz. Afridigaliinae Lehrer, 2005b; Gangelomyiinae Lehrer, 2005b (misspelled as Gangelomyinae) and Maraviolinae Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as junior synonyms of the tribe Bengaliini Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, new synonyms. All new genus-group names, viz. Afridigalia Lehrer, 2005b; Ashokiana Lehrer, 2005b; Kenypyga Lehrer, 2005b; Shakaniella Lehrer, 2005b; Tsunamia Lehrer 2005b; Bezzigalia Lehrer 2005b; Gangelomyia Lehrer 2005b; Laoziana Lehrer, 2005b; Temaseka Lehrer, 2005b and Maraviola Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as junior synonyms of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, new synonyms. Bengalia ruedai Lehrer, 2005b is sunk as a synonym of Bengalia calilungae RUEDA, 1985, new synonym. Temaseka mallochi Lehrer, 2005b is sunk as a synonym of Bengalia concava Malloch, 1927, new synonym. Afridigalia adrianponti Lehrer, 2005b and Afridigalia falsimonia Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as synonyms of Bengalia floccosa (van der Wulp, 1884), new synonyms. Afridigalia lubana Lehrer, 2005b and Afridigalia sanaga Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as synonyms of Bengalia gaillardi Surcouf & Guyon, 1912, new synonyms. Afridigalia laguna Lehrer, 2005b and Afridigalia nusantara Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as synonyms of Bengalia inermis Malloch, 1927, new synonyms. Afridigalia jamesi Lehrer, 2005b and Afridigalia nicolasia Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as synonyms of Bengalia lyneborgi James, 1966, new synonyms. Afridigalia elgonia Lehrer, 2005b and Afridigalia olapana Lehrer, 2005b are sunk as synonyms of Bengalia peuhi Villeneuve, 1914, new synonyms. Maraviola erithreana Lehrer, 2005b is sunk as a synonymy of Maraviola seniorwhitei Lehrer, 2005b, new synonym. Maraviola smarti Lehrer, 2005b is sunk as a synonymy of Maraviola racovitzai Lehrer, 2005b, new synonym. Ochromyia Lehrer, 2005b is an objectively invalid name since it is a junior homonym of Ochromyia Macquart, 1835. Ochromyia jejutora Lehrer, 2005b and Gangelomyia senausmarta Lehrer, 2005b are unavailable names since they are published in synonymy. Afridigalia fanzideliana Lehrer, 2005b and Bengalia ruedai Lehrer, 2005b are unavailable names because no types have been designated. Numerous errors of fact concerning types, and numerous misinterpretations and outright ignorance of the working of International Code of Zoological Nomenclature are pointed out. No proposal has been made to select male neotypes for species now based on unrecognisable females types in order to preserve stability of nomenclature. 14 valid species are totally ignored for no reason at all, 7 valid species for dubious reasons, and numerous nominal species are left out of consideration completely. The genitalia illustrations are inadequate since only profile views are shown. Some of the newly described species seem to be based on artifacts in the illustrations of the male aedeagus or other organs, or on slight individual variation, and many seem to be synonyms of each other. Although describing many new species and creating the foundation for a rational taxonomy of a species-rich genus, Lehrer?s work ?Bengaliidae du Monde (Insecta: Diptera)? is an incomplete work that masquerades as a full taxonomic revision. It must be treated with the utmost caution and circumspection. |

LoL, I never said I agreed with him. I'm not a calyptratist.

Let's just say that Lehrer is a splitter of the worst kind. Those who thinks nomenclature is a science, might like it. Theo Zeegers |

Well talking of splitting, do you think it makes sense to separate Anthomyiidae from Muscidae. Somehow it feels to me, that A. should be just one subfamily within Muscidae. And somehow I feel that Calliphoridae should also be just a subfamily within Muscidae. Alternatively Muscidae should be further split. Is there any molecular study on the relationship of major Calyptrate lineages?
