description: Genus Loewia Egger
Thrychogena Rondani, 1856: 65. Nomen oblitum (see O’Hara et al. 2011: 180); senior but invalid synonym of Loewia Egger, 1856. Type species: Thrychogena brevifrons Rondani, 1856, by monotypy.
Loewia Egger, 1856: 386. Nomen protectum (see O’Hara et al. 2011: 180); junior but valid synonym of Thrychogena Rondani, 1856. Type species: Loewia setibarba Egger, 1856, by monotypy.
Thricogena Rondani, 1859: 242. Unjustified emendation of Thrychogena Rondani, 1856. This is one of two original spellings of the name in Rondani (1859), the other being Tricogena. Acting as the First Reviser, O’Hara et al. (2011: 179) selected Thricogena as the correct original spelling.
Fortisia Rondani, 1861: 94. Type species: hereby fixed under Article 70.3.2 of ICZN (1999) as Loewia nudigena Mesnil, 1973, misidentified as Tachina foeda Meigen, 1824 (as “ F. Phaeda Wdm. Mgn. (non Macq.)”) in the fixation by monotypy of Rondani (1861).
Thrichogena Bezzi, 1894: 305 (in synonymy with Loewia Egger, 1856), 352 (index). Unjustified emendation of Thrychogena Rondani, 1856 (see O’Hara et al. 2011: 268).
Oestroloewia Mesnil, 1953: 152. Type species: Oestroloewia crassipes Mesnil, 1953, by monotypy.
Thrychogrna. Incorrect subsequent spelling of Thrychogena Rondani, 1856. This spelling first appeared in the Junk 1914 facsimile edition of Rondani (1856) and was unwittingly attributed to the original Rondani (1856) by Herting (1984: 109, 190) (see O’Hara et al. 2011: 201).
Trichogena. Incorrect subsequent spelling of Thrychogena Rondani, 1856 (Bezzi & Stein 1907: 403, in synonymy with Loewia; Mesnil 1973: 1204, in synonymy with Loewia, p. 1205, as subgenus of Loewia; Herting 1984: 109).
Tricogena. Incorrect original spelling of Thricogena Rondani, 1859 (Rondani 1859: 84, as “ Tricogenae ” in Latin) (see O’Hara et al. 2011: 183).
