Cesaperua is a genus of tachinid flies found in Brazil.[1] There is one described species, Cesaperua xanthomelanoides.[2]

Taxonomy[]

It was originally described as Xenophasia in 1934, though that name was preoccupied by a genus of birds (Xenophasia Strickland, 1841, itself a correction for Zenophasia Swainson, 1838[3]).[4] The replacement name Cesaperua was coined in 2010 and is a combination of "CESA" (Centre for Entomological Studies Ankara in Turkey) and Peru,[2] a mistaken reference to the presumed type locality, which is actually in Brazil.[1]
