Abstract
This is the first in a series of rigorous nomenclatural studies of selected Diptera workers, undertaken as part of the Biosystematic Database of World Diptera (BDWD). A total of 566 genus-group names of Diptera proposed by A.-J.-B. Robineau-Desvoidy are listed, each with all originally included nominal species, method of typification, current taxonomic status, and emendations. A detailed biography of Robineau-Desvoidy is given with discussion of his works and his relationships with contemporaries. In addition, an index to all the species-group names of Diptera proposed by RobineauDesvoidy (3,204) is given with bibliographic reference to each original citation. Appended to this study are a full bibliography of Robineau-Desvoidy’s works, a list of collectors on which Robineau-Desvoidy based his Diptera studies, a list of collecting localities mentioned in his Diptera works, and a reproduction of the little-known but valuable 1826 Blainville Rapport of Robineau-Desvoidy’s 1830 Essai sur les Myodaires. Type species are designated for the following genus-group names: Dasyphora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Muscidae]; Dyctia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Sciomyzidae]; Fimetia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Sphaeroceridae]; and Haematobia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Muscidae]. Acting as First Reviser of multiple original spellings, the following are selected as correct original spellings for genus-group names: Arisbaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Carbonia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Elbaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Eversmania Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Faedoria Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Fairmairia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1853 [Conopidae]; Gymnodia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Muscidae]; Lylibaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Phaenicia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Calliphoridae]; Solieria Robineau-Desvoidy, 1849 [Tachinidae]; and Stephensia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; and for species-group names: Cyzenis haemisphaerica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]. Earlier or corrected type-species designations are given for the following genus-group names: Elpigia RobineauDesvoidy, 1863 [Sarcophagidae]; Erigone Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Tachinidae]; Kirbya Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Tachinidae]; Lilaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Tachinidae]; Meckelia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Ulidiidae]; Melinda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Calliphoridae]; Misellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 [Sarcophagidae]; Myophora RobineauDesvoidy, 1830 [Sarcophagidae]; Myoris Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Ulidiidae]; Odinia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Odiniidae]; Phoraea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Anthomyiidae]; Rhinia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Rhiniidae]; Rhinophora Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Rhinophoridae]; Sabethes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1827 [Culicidae]; Salticella RobineauDesvoidy, 1830 [Sciomyzidae]; and Urellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [Tephritidae].

As accurate as possible dates of publication were searched for and are listed in square brackets after the citation. If not annotated otherwise, they derive from the publication itself. Where no date other than the year could be found, the date is listed as “31 December+” to distinguish from actual 31 December publication dates. In the same fashion, if no date other than the month could be found, it should be construed as being available on the last day of that month until better evidence of publication issuance can be found.
