Abstract

The Tachinidae of America north of Mexico have undergone extensive changes in nomenclature since the last catalogue was produced in 1965. Many of these changes were published in the Tachinidae chapter of Manual of Nearctic Diptera, but few of the changes in that work were explicitly stated and none was recorded in Zoological Record. These changes, which included a new genus, new records for America north of Mexico, new generic synonymies, and hundreds of new combinations (including extralimital species), are documented here. This paper also includes more than 30 nomenclatural changes proposed as new herein by the junior author (primarily for America north of Mexico), representing new generic and specific synonymies and new combinations. A new record for America north of Mexico is reported.

Résumé

La nomenclature des Tachinidae de l’Amérique au nord du Mexique a subi d’important changements depuis le dernier catalogue qui remonte à 1965. Plusieurs des changements ont déjà été publiés dans le chapitre sur les Tachinidae dans le Manual of Nearctic Dipera, mais peu des changements y sont expliqués et aucun n’a été enregistré au Zoological Record. Les changements, notamment la création d’un genre nouveau, de nouvelles mentions en Amérique au nord du Mexique, de nouvelles synonymies génériques et des centaines de nouvelles combinaisons (dont des espèces hors limites) sont exposés ici. On trouvera également ici plus de 30 modifications de nomenclature proposées par le deuxième auteur (surtout de l’Amérique au nord du Mexique), dont de nouvelles synonymies spécifiques et génériques ainsi que de nouvelles combinaisons. Une espèce est mentionnée pour la première fois en Amérique au nord du Mexique.
