RODRIGUEZ-FERNANDEZ, Jaime I.; CARVALHO, Claudio J. B. de  and  COURI, Márcia S.. Taxonomic revisionary notes on some Neotropical Coenosiini (Diptera: Muscidae). Zoologia (Curitiba, Impr.) [online]. 2010, vol.27, n.2, pp. 258-262. ISSN 1984-4670.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-46702010000200013.

Coenosiinae is an important component of the Neotropical Muscidae diversity due to the high diversity of species and high population numbers. Based on the examination of type-specimens of some species of Coenosiini, the following taxonomic changes are proposed: Neodexiopsis medinai Snyder, 1957 stat. rev., Pilispina xanthogaster (Albuquerque, 1958) comb. nov., Pilispina differa Couri & Carvalho, 1999 is a junior synonym of Pilispina pilitibia Albuquerque, 1954, Neodexiopsis barbiventris Couri & Albuquerque, 1979 is a junior synonym of Neodexiopsis flavipalpis Albuquerque, 1956 and a neotype is proposed for Coenosia latitibia Albuquerque 1957. In all cases, remarks include reevaluation of relevant characters.

Keywords : Coenosiinae; new combination; revalidation; synonymy; taxonomy.
