IRMNG it turns out has a lot of errors regarding genus-group names from Dejean's Coleoptera catalogues, mostly due to importing data from Nomenclator Zoologicus (which I'll call N.Z. for short) and Joel Hallan's Biology catalog. For instance, many of the names from N.Z. were recorded as "nomen nudum" even if they are now considered valid names. I don't know the full extent of errors in Hallan's catalog on the other hand, but some years need to be fixed among other things. Unfortunately there are even duplicate records in some cases, particularly in Chrysomelidae at least: typically one from N.Z. and one from Hallan's catalog! Here I attempt to note any corrections needed to said records on IRMNG, or at least mark which ones are essentially duplicates.

It is totally understandable that all of this is a mess though, as these names have apparently caused confusion historically, hence the creation of the two articles by Yves Bousquet & Patrice Bouchard in 2013.

Thanks @Monster Iestyn: for taking the time to look into these... as you note, in order to build IRMNG I started by importing everything in Nomenclator Zoologicus (correcting obvious errors only), plus some other sources, and later Hallan's Catalog for names I did not already have a record for... on the principle that acquiring the data was the first step, then any necessary cleaning can at least have a skeleton structure on which to build. Of course the Nom. Zool. records do not tell you which names are accepted/valid/current and which are not, or the family assignment; around 60% of such names now have this information, added from other sources (also species lists too, some already out-of-date) but this too is an ongoing process, hence the "I" in IRMNG, for "Interim" - I/we know it is not perfect, but a useful starting point for further improvement.
Also worth noting I initially envisaged building IRMNG to be a 3 month full time/6 months part time activity. That was in June 2006, still going as of now (including being retired from my formal work for the past 6 years!)... Best - Tony Rees Tony 1212 (talk) 06:44, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
As an aside - sometimes I think I have created a monster that will devour us all... But then I look at items such as this paper which can only be produced from IRMNG (at this time) and think that, warts and all, it has been a worthwhile effort to date (and which has served clients for the past 14 years or so, in the absence of anything more complete) so then I feel a little better :) Initially it was created because of the then deficiencies in the Catalogue of Life, as a "names resolving service" (e.g. to answer questions like, "just what is this critter??" - CoL was around 15% complete at that time). I met Frank Bisby (CoL originator and then prime mover) at a meeting of taxonomic database persons in 2007 and told him I was creating a stop-gap product, he was creating the Catalogue of Life, I was doing the Catalogue of Life and Death (fossils included). He did not seem particularly amused (perhaps the joke was too much at his expense...!) - Cheers Tony Tony 1212 (talk) 19:32, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Notes

[edit]

Column meanings:

  • N.Z.: External link to the IRMNG record imported from Nomenclator Zoologicus, with stated name and authority. If name is stated as nomen nudum on IRMNG I mark it here.
  • Hallan: Ditto, but for Joel Hallan's Biology catalog. (only if there is a duplicate record)
  • Other: (To be used if there is a record from neither N.Z. nor Hallan's catalog involved)
  • Correct name: Correct name and authority according to Bousquet & Bouchard (2013). (only if the name needs correcting)
  • Other corrections and notes: Here I list what else needs to be fixed on IRMNG, e.g.: if name is not actually a nomen nudum contrary to what IRMNG says, should be a synonym, etc. To put it another way though, if the name is meant to be a synonym of another and IRMNG has this correct information already, I don't need to state this here because it's not actually wrong! Other notes may also be placed here if necessary for context.
  • Done?: If YesY appears in this column, then these fixes have been made on IRMNG since the making of this list. If YesY appears then as far as I can tell it was already fine beforehand (these may be changed to green ticks if they are fine). Question? means it's probably fine but I'm not entirely sure or there may be personal guesses I've made related to the record(s).

Genera in this list are in the same order as in Bousquet & Bouchard (2013a, 2013b), where they are split into sections and ordered alphabetically within each section.

Abrobapta Dejean, 1833
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b) state that Abrobapta becomes available in the third edition of the catalogue as Abrobapta Dejean, 1836. This would mean it has precedence over Torresita Gemminger & Harold, 1869 (in Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b), the authority is referred to as just "Harold, 1869"), which is currently used as valid (though according to IRMNG is it a nomen nudum and is a synonym of Torresita Thomson, 1878).
  • Reversal of Precedence (ICZN 1999: Article 23.9) or an application to the Commission is necessary to conserve usage of the name Torresita Harold (Gemminger & Harold, 1869).
  • Abrobapta Dejean, 1836 itself is missing from IRMNG.

However, according to this page, Abrobapta Dejean, 1833 is instead a synonym of Melobasis Laporte & Gory, 1837. No mention of Dejean, 1836 in sight though.

What a mess. The Harold/thomson thing is just Neave improperly listing a name as nom. nud again. Bellamy (2002) list Abrobapta as under the synonymy of both Torresita and Melobasis on the basis of Bellamy (1998; Fragm. Entomol. 29:379)... which mentions only Torresita (wtf). Both B. chrysoptera and viridinitens are mentioned in Levey (2012; Zootaxa 3464:4), implying they are indeed treated in that genus at the moment, but the relevant part has not yet been published: Part 2 only came out in 2018, talk about delays...
I will wait until I have a definite placement to do anything with this. Circeus (talk) 16:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

  • ICZN (2008: 325) voted against the suppression of Diphucrania Dejean, 1833 in Opinion 2214
  • I do not know the status of the name Ethonion Kubán in Kubán, Majer & Kolibác, 2000 as Löbl I. & D. (2016) does not list it at all, though the other synonyms of Ethonion are all emendations of either Diphucrania Dejean 1833 or Ethon Laporte & Gory, 1840 it looks like.
    • (later note) According to this, Ethonion appears to be a replacement name for "Ethon Lacordaire 1857:78 (not Ethon Gory & Laporte 1839)", so may be a totally unrelated genus to Diphucrania Dejean, 1833 (especially since it has its own page here on the same site).
    • (another later note) Australian Faunal Directory on the other hand lists Diphucrania as a synonym of Ethonion, which I have a horrible feeling is actually a mistake on AFD's part.
      • It's a little more complicated than that. Ethonion is not a replacement name as such. Not for a homonym anyway. It's a name for Ethon sensu Lacordaire. There is some extra confusion in Bellamy 2002 again (Diphucrania, prior to the 2008 decision, listed under both Cisseis and Ethonion)

    • Candèze certainly didn't make it available himself. Hyslop (1921) seems to imply no one treated it as valid (in which case it would be valid from 1863), which makes it a nomen nudum and later use of Dejean's name.

Extra notes:

  • Megacnemius Dejean, 1836 is a later usage according to N.Z.'s own record, though cited as a manuscript name by Eschscholtz
    • Indeed. this is clearly the reuse from the third edition. The Silberman record confused the heck out of me until I took notice that the "Tableau" referred to is a foldout that is not scanned in BHL, only barely visible in transparency and undecipgerable.
  • (personal guess) the name probably became available as Megacnemius Laporte de Castelnau, 1840
    • I believe that use validates it all the way back to 1834 through art 50.7 (dear God do I hate that provision), but it's still a synonym of Tomicephalus.

  • ICZN (2015) in Opinion 2366 ruled that the spelling "Polybothris" be conserved, so the valid name for the genus should be Polybothris Dupont, 1833.

On the other hand, this page just claims it is an unavailable name, but gives a type species of Polychroma septemmaculata Mannerheim 1837.

At the very least from the above (and from this page) I can infer:

Extra note:

  • (personal guess) Prionophora Kerremans, 1908 is likely a later usage, which would mean it is also a synonym of Halecia Laporte & Gory, 1837
    • Not a later usage. like "Macrodes Candèze", it is the first place the name could have become available from (through at. 11.6.1)... it never did. This record has no business floating around and I deleted it. The date would be wrong anyway as Kerremans published the synonymy years before.

      • That would be because "Pterotarsus Latreille" is apparently a sensu name. Although eschscholtz is mentioned alot in relation to this name, I'm given to understand Eschscholtz 1829 (the likely source) does not make the name available.

  • Looking around, Pyractomena LeConte 1845 (not on IRMNG) might be a possible answer, but this is still very weird
    • Unaccepted names without accepted names are very unusual on IRMNG indeed, but Melsheimer, 1845 is clearly (with correction to 1846: Keller & Branham, 2018) considered the correct author. Far as I can tell, Leconte did not write on that genus until the 1850s. No idea why wikipedia ascribes authorship to "Leconte, 1845".

    • family Cantharidae
    • valid genus according to Bousquet & Bouchard (2013); therefore takes priority over Podabrus Westwood, 1838 (which is likely a later usage) and its synonyms
    • on the other hand, an earlier use of the name exists as Podabrus Fischer de Waldheim, 1821, though according to IRMNG (and of course N.Z.) it is a nomen nudum. Unfortunately, Fischer's "Entomographia Imperii Russici" ("Entomographie de la Russie" in French) does not seem to be accessible on the internet to double check this. Though, according to this article the original description was never found in any of Fischer's published papers (apparently the same article cites Neave's Nomenclator Zoologicus for the "nomen nudum" status, which is a little awkward considering my motivations for making this list)
      • Actually, that article cites Lacordaire (1857[:352]) as the source. Since B&B cited the Entomographie with detailed bibliographical details in their Catalogue of Geadephaga, I think they probably consulted it. Although I do wish they'd have been more thorough in dealing with possible homonyms predating Dejean's names (while I believe that Eurycerus 1807 is also almost certainly a nomen nudum, it would be nice to have an explicit statement to that effect).
        • Thanks to Litteratura Coleoptrologica (thank you so much Dr. Bousquet!), I have been able to cross-reference the name to here and definitely confirm its nomen nudum status.

Aplonycha Dejean, 1833
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable no corrections needed (but see below)

Extra notes:

  • (personal guess) going by Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b), the name may have become available as Aplonycha Boisduval, 1835 (record not on IRMNG)
  • according to Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b), Aplonycha Boisduval, 1835 is now considered an invalid synonym of Colpochila Erichson, 1843 (as "Haplonycha Dejean, 1836") but has priority.
  • Reversal of Precedence or an application to the Commission is necessary to retain Colpochila Erichson as the valid name.
  • according to Bouchard et al. (2011), the spelling "Haplonycha" is an unjustified emendation of "Aplonycha" by Agassiz (1846), which is in prevailing usage and so deemed to be a justified emendation.
    • (personal guess) Combined with the infotmation from Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b), this possibly means that "Haplonycha Boisduval, 1835" is actually the available name to be used... though it seems nobody has used this particular name and authority together yet. If this were true though, Aplonycha Boisduval, 1835 would then be an incorrect original spelling, and Haplonycha Agassiz, 1846 would be a justified emendation.
    • (personal guess) Haplonycha Blanchard, 1851 is likely a later usage of Aplonycha/Haplonycha Boisduval, 1835 as well

Later note: B&B seem to completely waive the whole Aplonycha/Haplonycha spelling thing except in passing, does that mean they don't consider Haplonycha a justified emendation anymore?? I'll leave you to figure this out Circeus, I'm not sure what's best here.

Later note 2: Bouchard & Bousquet (2020) fortunately resolve the Aplonycha/Haplonycha spelling confusion:

  • From pages 82 and 83 in the article:
    Page 250. Replace the entry “Haplonychidae H. C. C. Burmeister, 1855: 224…” with: “Haplonychidae H. C. C. Burmeister, 1855: 224 [stem: Aplonych-]. Type genus: Aplonycha Boisduval, 1835 [as Haplonycha, unjustifed emendation of type genus name by Agassiz (1846b: 29)]. Comment: the unjustified emendation Haplonycha Agassiz, 1846 is in prevailing usage but attributed to Dejean (1836), not to Boisduval (1835) who first made the name Aplonycha available and therefore, Art. 33.2.3.1 (ICZN 1999) cannot be used to consider Haplonycha as a justified emendation; incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage; the junior homonym Aplonychini De Stefani, 1908 (type genus Aplonyx De Stefani, 1908) is available in Diptera; this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).”
  • So:
    • Aplonycha Boisduval, 1835 is the first available use of Aplonycha (and invalid synonym of Colpochila Erichson, 1843?)
    • Haplonycha Agassiz, 1846 is an unjustified emendation, contrary to Bouchard et al. (2011), because, despite being in prevailing usage, it was incorrectly attributed to Dejean, 1836 rather than Boisduval, 1835.
      • No, it's because it was (as far as I can tell, amyway) attributed to Blanchard, 1851 or Agassiz, 1846.
    • Haplonycha Blanchard, 1851 is a later usage most likely

Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable according to Kuijten (1992), Caelidia Dejean, 1833 is a synonym of Parastasia Westwood, 1841

Extra notes:

  • (personal guess) Caelidia Burmeister, 1844 is a later usage of Caelidia Dejean, 1833 on N.Z, so it is also likely a later usage of Caelidia Boisduval, 1835
    • Indeed, his treatment wouldn't even make the name available, as pointed out by Kuijten (1992:69)!
  • if the above connections are correct, this causes problems for Parastasia Westwood, 1841, since Caelidia Boisduval, 1835 would now have priority over it. Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b) don't seem to make a comment on this at all apparently!
    • I'm not surprised: they were only interested with whether Dejean' name predated any existing ones, after all. Kuijten, however, IMO has no excuse whatsoever after treating Boisduval's Caelidia marginata as available (p. 104), and then immediately referring elsewhere in the paper for a discussion of said generic name as unavailable (p. 69)! Caelidia might well qualify as a nomen oblitum, though, so it's not a big threat.

("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • According to N.Z., both Callichloris Burmeister, 1844 and Callichloris Curtis, 1844 are later usages, but I am not sure which is valid (or even if they are related to each other)
    • Burmeister's name (Handbuch 4(1):455) is treated as Platycoelia Dejean, 1833 (Smith, 2003. On the other hand, Curtis' Callichloris perelegans (Trans. Proc. Linn. Soc. London 19:445, dated 1845, not 1844) is a species of Hylamorpha Arrow, 1899 (Ratcliffe & Ocampo, 2002). Just to make it REALLY messy, though, Burmeister treats Dejean's species under Aulacopalpus, and nowadays it's (apparently) the type of Hylamorpha.

  • I have no idea if Chlaenobia Blanchard, 1850 is related or not
    • I'd wager not. Blanchard would mention Dejean if it were.
      • Looking at the original description for Chlaenobia Blanchard, 1850, you're correct in that it doesn't mention Dejean at all. However, looking around on Google Books, I found Burmeister (1855)'s Handbuch der Entomologie, which mentions Dejean's only named species ("Chloenobia fastidita", see here) on this page. He seems to be comparing it with Tostegoptera Blanchard, 1851 , with a note that translates to "Note. This genus is probably the same as Count Dejean's Chloenobia fastidita". Interestingly, both Chlaenobia Blanchard, 1850 and Testegoptera Blanchard, 1851 are currently synonyms of Phyllophaga Harris, 1827 if IRMNG is correct. So a link *could* be made to Dejean's name, but then again this is just speculation.

  • I'm not actually sure what the current names for either Coptorhinus are now, though the ICZN case/opinion seems to be about conserving Temnorhynchus Hope, 1837 (accepted as Temnorrhynchus Hope, 1837 on IRMNG)... so maybe Coptorhinus Dejean, 1833 is a synonym of that now?

Cryptodon Dejean, 1833
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable Cryptodontes Burmeister, 1847 is a later usage, according to N.Z.
  • Oh, this is a fun one. Dejean used Cryptodon, based off a Manuscript name of Latreille, then Westwood published it as Leptognathus because he thought Latreille's name was too similar to Latreille's own earlier Cryptodus, another lamellicorn. But Leptognathus Westwood is itself a junior homonym (of Leptognathus Swainson, 1838), so Burmeister, agreeing about the Cryptodon vs. Cryptodus thing, publishes it as Cryptodontes instead. Ironically, Westwood later commented how he didn't think the homonymy justified taking up Burmeister's name!

According to N.Z. itself, Pachylus Dejean, 1833 *should* be in order Coleoptera, but instead on IRMNG this record seems to place it in subphylum Crustacea, order Mysida, family Mysidae. How on earth did this happen?

A second "Pachylus Dejean, 1833" record exists which instead places it in Arachnida, but at least I can attribute that to being mixed up with Pachylus Kollar in Koch, 1839 possibly. And maybe we can also blame Hallan for that one.

Platychira Agassiz, 1846 is an unjustified emendation, and no help.

  • this probably means that Ryparus Westwood, 1844 is probably the incorrect original spelling (abeit with the wrong year?) for Rhyparus Westwood, 1845, and Rhyparus Agassiz, 1846 is a justified emendation. Rhypaus meanwhile just seems to be a separate misspelling

  • Val is the correct author for availability. Remember that much of Neave's base work is based on the code and scholarship as it was in the 30s! There's a significant amount of cases where later volumes (as here: Val's publication was recorded in Volume 8, in 1993) or Hallan have a more accurate date or place of publication.
  • Trichops Val is the available version of Dejean's name, and is a synonym of Apalonychus Westwood 1846, but Trichops Borre is a separate homonym. As Borrochrus (its replacement name), it is as far as I can tell a valid subgenus of Chaetodus Westwood 1846

  • All evidence (e.g. Flores et al., 2011) seems to point in that direction, yes. What we have here, it seems, is an unjustified emendation in prevailing usage (just as with Coedius), as Solier clearly uses "Calymmaphorus" (the date is 1840, not 1841, so same name as the Calymmophorus of Hallan). He clearly intends to include Dejean's "Calymmaphorus cucullatus" (and indeed he mentions him by name), so that's allone and the same.

    • however, according to Löbl & Smetana (2008) [page 42], "Melanostola Dejean, 1836" is available (probably from the third edition of Dejean's catalogue?), since it claims the first species name ("simplex. Dej.") is actually available as "Pimela simplex Solier, 1836"
    • however to that however though, Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b) doesn't mention Melanostola at all, let alone list Melanostola Dejean, 1836 as a valid name, so I can't actually tell if Löbl & Smetana (2008)'s note is correct or not
      • I have no idea why the name is missing entirely from Bousquet & Bouchard, but Löbl & Smetana are correct that Pimelia simplex Solier 1836:123 was available prior to publication of Melanostola Dejean, 1836:198 (Bousquet & Bouchard explicitly state that paper preceded Dejean's catalogue), making that name available. All evidence points to Dejean's M. blapsoides and oblonga being nomen nudum, so that the designation by Löbl et al. is unavailable, as Pimelia simplex is then the type by monotypy.

("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable

Which name is valid, Oncotus Blanchard, 1845 or Oncotus Solier [in Baudi & Truqui], 1848?

  • according to Bouchard et al. (2011), Oncotus Blanchard, 1845 is the valid name
  • according to Kamiński (2016), Oncotus Solier, 1848 should actually be the valid name: "[...] , Blanchard’s reference does not fulfill the criteria laid down in Art. 12.2. of ICZN (1999), therefore Solier (1848) is considered here to be the author of Oncotus."
    • It is absolutely Blanchard. Kamiński's argument conveniently ignores the clear presence of a description in Blanchard, which obviates the need to examine whatever indication(s) may be present.
    • On second thought I believe his argument may be (and if so, terribly worded!) that the name is unavailable because it's not actually Latin and instead a vernacular transcription (the page include several names that clearly fall into such a category). Amusingly enough, the ICZN does not include any such provision that I can find aside from banning accented letters! I'm sure that's going to bite them in the ass some day... the ICZN is basically written so as to avoid having to change accepted dates of publication as much as possible through a variety of means (and end up really complicating things in a variety of creative methods in the process...), and otherwise minimize the need for the commission's interventions as much as possible (given how ridiculously long cases linger, and frequently are just... completely forgotten, I can't blame them)... except for article 55.3 which maximizes it. By contrast the ICBN emphasizes being able to tell from examination of the protologue whether a name is validly published or not.
      • It's also worth noting that "Oncotus" later appears in page 25 in Blanchard's work, though without a description.
        • I noticed that. It's why I put down both pages for Oncotus Blanchard.

    • Apart from the lack of evidence for being extinct at all, I also suspect this is wrong because, so far at least, I have found at least one article mentioning P. reitteri as being "abdundant under shrubs", which sounds like it is an extant species. P. reitteri is listed as under Pterocoma subgenus Mongolopterocoma in Löbl & Smetana (2008). Make of that what you like.

Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable Sciaca Solier, 1835 is a later usage, according to N.Z.

Extra note: I cannot say for certain if the genus is valid as Solier, 1835 or not, but according to d'Orbigny (1848: 423) (which of course could be completely wrong now), Sciaca Dejean, 1834 is a synonym of Hylithus Guérin, 1834

  • Solier's publication as a synonym could be a source of availability, but the conditions do not appear to have been met (hence Sciaca) not being in Bousquet & Bouchard, 2013b. He put it as a syn. of Hylithus and no one has bothered to contest it. The tentyrioides they mention is indeed an Hylithus. Circeus (talk)
    • Could and is, it turns out. Bouchard et al. (2021) note that the third edition of the catalogue's entry makes Solier's name available. Even if we HAD covered the names from the third catalogue, it wouldn't have helped because unlike, say, Caelidia, Sciaca was not mentioned. Still a synonym of Hylithus. Circeus (talk)

  • Kamiński et al. (2019) does not list Selenomma Soiler, 1838 (or Dejean for that matter) as a synonym of Uniungulum Koch, 1962, though that may just mean it is not an available name
    • No, it's because Selenomma Dejean, 1836, the only available one, has no apparent connection with Uniungulum (no idea where the heck Hallan got that synonymy from): it's an objective synonym of Ammophorus, and Ammophorus is currently treated as a valid genus in Scotobiini.

Extra notes:

  • are Selenopistoma Mulsant & Rey, 1854 and Solenopistoma Mulsant & Rey, 1854 related to the name Selenepistoma Dejean, 1834 at all, considering their very close spelling?
    • according to Kamiński (2016), Solenopistoma Mulsant & Rey, 1854 is a subgenus of Eurynotus, and it has a different type species to Selenepistoma Dejean, 1834 as given in Bousquet & Bouchard (2013). Better hope they can be considered different sense of the name (if they are linked), otherwise this is going to be a mess, oh dear.
      • If we consider that Solenopistoma is an incorrect subsequent usage, it must be reverted because it is not being properly attributed to Dejean, making it not protected by Art. 33.3.1.
      • The type designation by Bouchard and Bousquet is problematic because the current placement of O. acutum Wiedemann is unclear (to me at least)! The "Eurynotus acutus" of Mulsant and Rey is a Zadenos (Kaminski, 2015)! On the other hand, the designation by Koch, 1854 is inadmissible because E. denticosta is not an originally included species! This is indeed a mess...
          • Update: Obviously, Bousquet and Nouchrd were working off the system used prior to Kamiński, who was in turn unaware of the type designation. Proper action was taken by Bouchard et al. (2020), synonymizing Euzadenos under Selenepistoma, with the the later used as a valid subgenus.
            • @Circeus:: According to {{Bouchard et al., 2021}}, Solenopistoma Mulsant & Rey, 1854 (and Selenepistomus, but they don't mention Selenopistoma) is a incorrect subsequent spelling of Selenepistoma Dejean, 1834 (and therefore unavailable), and they proposed a new subgenus Neosolenopistoma with the type species Eurynotus denticosta Mulsant & Rey, 1854. Meanwhile Selenepistoma Dejean, 1834 is now considered a valid genus in the same article. Lastly, it appears IRMNG still needs to be actually updated! Monster Iestyn (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
              • Ooops, my bad! I'm only up to Falsocaedius and and the entry for Euzadenos is worded in a rather misleading way: "Euzadenos Koch, 1956 was recently treated as a valid subgenus of Zadenos Laporte, 1840 (Kamiński 2015: 549); however, the type species of the older available genus name Selenepistoma Dejean, 1834 is currently placed in Euzadenos and therefore Selenepistoma has priority." So I did not realize the genus level swap.

  • Calymmus is a valid genus, not a synonym of Wattius Kaszab (Kergoat et al., 2014, Smith & Sanchez, 2015). Nom. Zool. considers that Pascoe is creating a new name homonym of Doué. IMO, this is clearly not the case, as he refers to Calymmus of Dejean and Doué assigning a species of Monrouzier to that genus. It is correct, however, that Calymmus sensu Pascoe = Wattius Kaszab.

  • According to Bouchard & Löbl (2008), Dailognatha Stevens, 1829 has been misattributed as Dailognatha Eschscholtz, 1831 (or "Stevens in Eschscholtz, 1831"), since Steven's paper was little known by his contemporaries
  • ICZN (2010)'s Opinion 2250 conserves the name Delognatha Lacordaire, 1859 by suppression of the name Delognatha Agassiz, 1846. Though according to one of the voters, Agassiz did not use Delognatha as valid (or even as an emendation of Dailognatha Stevens at all possibly), therefore Delognatha Agassiz, 1846 is not an available name and no action was necessary (he still voted for the case regardless).

Scaptes Eschscholtz in Dejean, 1834
("nomen nudum")

Xyloborus Dejean, 1834
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • I have no idea if Xyloborus Kirby & Spence, 1828 is related at all
  • Xyloborus Motschulsky, 1858 is probably a later usage though, going by Motschulsky (1858: 64–65); if so this would make Xyloborus Dejean, 1834 a synonym of Rhipidandrus Leconte, 1862
    • in Schwarz & Barber (1914: 175), where they talk about the confusion of Xyloborus and Xyleborus and give some history on Xyloborus, they conclude that Motschulsky made the name available
      • For the clarification: Xyloborus Motschulsky is a Tenebrionidae. Xyleborus Eichhoff is a Curculionidae.
    • however, according to Merkl & Kompantzeva (1996) the name Xyloborus is a nomen nudum even in Motschulsky's usage!
      • They don't put any argument whatsoever toward that, and I believe them to be wrong in that regard. I cannot find any other material only about the current placement of X. crenipennis Motschulsky though. I am emailing Dr. Bouchard about this and leaving this unresolved.
      • Dr. Bouchard has kindly confirmed my analysis, even adding information to the specific effect that Xyloborus cannot be made a nomen oblitum because it "was used as valid after 1899 (e.g., Swezey 1942: 167)" (this seems to be Bernice P. Bishop. Mus. Bull. 172 and I am amazed they dug that up!).

Anaedus Dejean, 1834
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • What's the correct authority for Anaedus Blanchard, 1845???
    • According to Löbl & Smetana (2008), the authority of Anaedus is "Blanchard, 1843: 198"
    • However, according to Bouchard et al. (2011), "Blanchard, 1845" is the authority
    • However again, according to Wei & Ren (2020) the authority is actually "Blanchard, 1842: pl. 14"!
    • Same is stated in Bousquet et al. (2018)
      • If the dates in Bousquet, 2016 are to be trusted, then the year in 1845. Plate 14 was issued in 1847. The accompanying text is from 1853, not 1843 (which I assume to be due to a typo appearing at some point in the process). I am surprised to see the wrong date in Bousquet et al., 2018!
      • I was wrong about this. I misread something in the Litteratura. Plate 14 is firmly dated to 1842, which is the correct date and place of publication.
  • According to N.Z., Anoedus Blanchard, 1845 is an incorrect spelling or emendation of Anaedus Blanchard, 1845
    • It's an incorrect original spelling and should be dated 1842.

Aspisoma Dejean, 1834
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • According to Wei & Ren (2020), Aspisoma is available as "Duponchel and Chevrolat, 1841: 210"
  • According to the same article, Aspidosoma Agassiz, 1846 is an unjustified emendation of Aspisoma Duponchel and Chevrolat, 1841, though N.Z. apparently says it is an emendation of "Aspisoma Laporte 1833 & Dejean 1834" (so both Aspisoma Laporte, 1833 and Aspisoma Dejean, 1834 ???)
    • Same is stated in Bousquet et al. (2018)
      • Yes, Agassiz was a very liberal emender, and if two names were homonyms, he would happily emend them to the same but different homonym. He would also shamelessly create wholly new homonym pairs through his emendations: he also emended Anaides Westwood to Anaedes, for example.

Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable no corrections needed, though see notes

Extra note: Charinotus Agassiz, 1846 appears to be a misspelling of Charinotes Dupont in Audinet-Serville, 1834, and is probably unrelated to the Dejean name (I think)

  • not a nomen nudum

  • Reversal of Precedence (ICZN 1999: Article 23.9) or an application to the Commission is necessary to conserve usage of the name Derosphaerus Thomson, 1858
    • Reversal of precedence was enacted for Euphron vs. Derosphaerus and Adelphus vs. Praeugenus by Bouchard & Bousquet in Iwan & Lôbl, 2020:6.
