description: <i>Lehrera</i> Koçak &amp; Kemal, 2009 (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) Koçak &amp; Kemal (2009 b: 7) proposed this new replacement name in the Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in this brief statement: “ <i>Lehrera</i> nom.n. pro <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer, 1995 (Ent. Ber. Amsterdam 55 (10): 158 14 nec <i>Devriesia</i> Mintz, 1967 (Diss.Abstr. 27 B: 2748) (Echinodermata)”. Footnote 14 cites a recent usage of <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer: “ <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer, l 995 is currently treated as valid generic name (see: Lehrer, A.Z., 2006, Fragm. dipt. 3: 14–22)”. There are several aspects of this nomenclatural act that are problematic: 1) It is advisable, but not necessary, when proposing a replacement name to cite the type species, to list other affected species (i.e., new combinations), and perhaps to give some indication of where the taxa occur. 2) The first usage of the name <i>Devriesia</i> by Mintz (1967) in <i>Dissertation Abstracts</i> can be interpreted as unpublished by Article 9.7 of the Code (ICZN 1999): “Article 9. What does not constitute published work. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 8, none of the following constitutes published work within the meaning of the Code: … 9.7. copies obtained on demand of an unpublished work [Art. 8], even if previously deposited in a library or other archive.” 3) Even if Mintz (1967) is considered a published work, the name <i>Devriesia</i> was treated as unavailable by Kier &amp; Lawson (1978: 96): “ Mintz (1967: 2748) referred <i>Toxaster lafittei</i> to a new genus <i>Devriesia</i> Mintz but included no description of the genus. <i>Devriesia</i> is, therefore, a <i>nomen nudum</i>.” 4) Current usage of <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer was established by Koçak &amp; Kemal (2009 b) by reference to one of Lehrer’s own publications (Lehrer 2006). However, Lehrer’s classification of the Sarcophagidae is viewed as oversplit by most specialists of the family. The synonymy of <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer with <i>Sarcophaga</i> (<i>Heteronychia</i>), as first proposed by Pape (1996), was confirmed recently by Whitmore (2011) who studied the type series of the type species <i>Sarcophaga ferox</i> Villeneuve, 1908. The foregoing can be summarized as follows, with <i>Lehrera</i> Koçak &amp; Kemal (2009 b) falling into subjective synonymy with <i>S.</i> (<i>Heteronychia</i>): <b> <i>Sarcophaga</i> subg. <i>Heteronychia</i> Brauer &amp; Bergenstamm, 1889 (Diptera, Sarcophagidae)</b> <i>Heteronychia</i> Brauer &amp; Bergenstamm, 1889: 124. Type species: <i>Heteronychia chaetoneura</i> Brauer &amp; Bergenstamm, 1889 (= <i>Sarcophaga dissimilis</i> Meigen, 1826), by monotypy. <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer, 1995: 158. Type species: <i>Sarcophaga ferox</i> Villeneuve, 1908, by original designation. <i>Lehrera</i> Koçak &amp; Kemal, 2009 b: 7 (unnecessary <i>nomen novum</i> for <i>Devriesia</i> Lehrer, 1995). <b>New synonymy</b>.
