User:Monster Iestyn/IRMNG and Dejean's catalogues

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around 60% of such names now have this information, added from other sources (also species lists too, some already out-of-date) but this too is an ongoing process, hence the "I" in IRMNG, for "Interim" - I/we know it is not perfect, but a useful starting point for further improvement.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)

  • 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)

What doesn't help matters is that both of these later uses of the name are apparently in two different beetle families, Elateridae and Eucnemidae, making it impossible for me to figure out even which family the Dejean, 1833 name should go under at present.
      • 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.

Though, that said... what is with even the accepted name, Pyractomena Melsheimer, 1845 also being "unaccepted" on IRMNG? What is the accepted name instead then?!?

  • 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

  • (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.

  • 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'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?

  • 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

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).

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.

Ichthydion Dejean, 1834

Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • According to N.Z., Ichthidion Haldeman, 1843 is a misspelling (though is it available maybe?) and Ichthydium Agassiz, 1846 is an emendation
  • Ichthydion Melsheimer, 1853, from Hallan's catalog, is also labelled as a misspelling
    • "Ichthidion Haldeman" has universally been considered an incorrect original spelling, making Melsheimer's name just a later usage. Depending on the species placement, Ichthydion is the correct name for either Retocomus Casey, 1895 or Eurygenius Ferté-Senectère, 1849.

Extra note:

  • Weirdly enough, by chance from a Google search I just found there's a Wikidata item for a "Ichthydion Dejean, 1833", which appears to be placed within family Buprestidae. This is clearly meant to be the same taxon as this one dealt with here, but with the wrong year cited. On the other hand, as there are no references used anywhere, I have no idea where the parent taxon choice came from.
    • Yeah, Wikipedia puts it as a Retocomus, firmly in Anthicidae (Eurygeniinae)

Imatismus Dejean, 1834 Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • valid genus
  • according to N.Z., Himatismus Erichson, 1843 is an emendation
  • according to Löbl & Smetana (2008), Curimosphena Gebien, 1920 is a synonym
    • from first glance, it would look like Curimosphena Haag-Rutenberg, 1870 should be the first available use of "Curimosphena", not Gebien, 1920, but being a name from Hallan's catalog there is some doubt. Plus I can't find anyone else citing the name with that authority anywhere. I personally suspect Hallan got its authority mixed up with that of its type species (Himatismus villosus Haag-Rutenberg, 1870) and other "Himatismus" species with the same authority.

Also see Bouchard, Löbl & Merkl (2007), where Imatismus is made valid and Himatismus and Curimosphena become junior synonyms of it

  • Going by Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b), Dejean's name likely became available as Atractus Boisduval, 1835:283 (not on IRMNG) Done
  • Also according to Bousquet, Bouchard & Campbell (2015), Atractus Boisduval, 1835 as well as many other names (see below) should be synonyms of Lepturidea Fauvel, 1862. Lepturidea is currently used as the valid name as of last year in Australian Beetles Volume 2 (see this page)

Full synonymy for Lepturidea Fauvel, 1862:

Other notes:

  • Eutrapela Dejean, 1834 (a synonym of Chromomaea Pascoe, 1866 on IRMNG) is actually not related to the above list at all (see entry in Hétéromères: Trachélides when I get around to it later)
    • possibly same with Eutrapela Bohemann, 1858 unless it is one of those "sensu" names
      • To be precise, Bohemann published Eutrapela australica [=Lepturidea australica]. I guess there's some argument for considering this a separate new genus, but no one except Hallan seems to have interpreted it that way. Note that despite the statement in AFD, nothing related to Eutrapela australica appears anywhere in Bousquet et al. (2015).
  • Lepturidea Fauvel, 1905 is likely a later usage of Lepturidea Fauvel, 1862
  • Chromomaea Borchmann, 1910 is likely a later usage of Chromomaea Pascoe, 1866

Eucamptus Dejean, 1834
("nomen nudum")
Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable I suspect this could possibly be made a synonym of Hegemona de Laporte in Brullé, 1840, but if this doesn't make sense to you then it's fine as it is. Bear with me while I explain why I think it should be:

According to Bousquet et al. (2018), Hegemona Laporte 1840 has two synonyms, neither of which have records on IRMNG:

Digging up the original description for Eucamptus Germar, 1842 (which is from a volume of the unfinished German encylopaedia Allgemeine Encyclopädie der Wissenschaften und Künste as it turns out), I eventually found it on Google Books here, where it is clearly referencing Dejean's name.

  • This would mean Germar made Dejean's name available, if I'm correct (though it became a junior homonym of Chevrolat's name as a result).
    • I agree with your analysis

Paecilesthus Dejean, 1834

Not Applicable Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • "Poecilesthus" is an incorrect subsequent spelling in prevailing usage and so deemed to be the correct original spelling

    • Poecilesthus Blanchard, 1845 (emendation of Pae- Dejean 1834 according to N.Z.)
    • Poecilesthus Agassiz, 1845 (later usage?)
      • Technically, these are both later uses of the emended Poecilesthus Dejean, 1834 (though which would be considered the emending author is unclear).
    • Dinax Gistl, 1848 (an unjustified emendation of Poecilesthus Agassiz, 1845 according to N.Z., though is probably really meant to be an emendation of Dejean's name)
      • Confusingly though, according to Blank et al. (2009), Dinax Gistl 1848 is deemed to be a nomen nudum because of it being used to replace "Poelilesthus (Dej.)" (which appears to be a misspelling to me, though that seemed to be excuse enough for them to keep the Hymenoptera name valid). It does confirm that Agassiz's name is just a citation of Dejean's name though.

Names not on IRMNG edit

    • However, Sphenosoma Dejean, 1830 apparently exists on IRMNG/N.Z, and this is the original page cited by them; unfortunately I have no idea whether this name can be considered valid or not. It seems as if either B&B missed this earlier use of Sphenosoma by Dejean, or they knew of it but either considered it nomen nudum or unrelated to the Dejean, 1834 name?
      • Unhelpfully Sphenosoma is not listed under Acropteron in Bousquet et al. (2018) so I can't confirm if they still think it a synonym or not

    • Eutrapela Boheman is just describing a species of Eutrapela. It's difficult to argue (as Hallan believes) in favor of this establishing a new genus. It is at best a sensu name and should not be in IRMNG.
  • in Bousquet & Bouchard (2013), the replacement name Neoeutrapela Bousquet & Bouchard, 2013 is proposed
  • IRMNG claims this name and variants to be synonyms of Chromomaea Borchmann, 1910 or Chromomaea Pascoe, 1866 or Chromomoea but as far as I can tell these seem to be unrelated, mostly because of the absence of "Eutrapela" from the synonymy of Lepturidea in Australian Beetles Volume 2 (see this page)

    • invalid synonym of Ditylus Fischer, 1817
    • unavailable name: "It has not been treated before 1961 as an available name and adopted as the name of a taxon or treated as a senior homonym. Therefore Microps Dejean, 1834 is unavailable."
      • Not done This is a later usage of Microps Dejean, 1821 (in IRMNG as Microps Megerle, 1821), also in synonymy. The name would be made available by Dahl, 1823, but that work is suppressed.

  • Anchylorhynchus Schönherr, 1833 and Anchylorhynchus Schoenherr, 1835 can't both be the accepted name!?! Either the 1833 one is a nomen nudum, the 1835 is a later usage, or somehow they're separate genera (in which case one needs a rename if it hasn't already).
    • According to Bousquet & Bouchard (2013b) the current name is "Anchylorhynchus Schönherr, 1836"
      • The name first appears as a nomen nudum in a genus list in vol. 1 of Genera et species Curculionidum, it is not available until its description in volume 3, part 1, for which the correct dating (mentioned both in Bousquet & Bouchard, 2013a and Bousquet, 2016) is late 1835, not the generally used 1836 of the title page (which applies only to pp. 500-858).

Ischnocerus Schönherr, 18340 is an incorrect original spelling for Ischnomerus Schönherr, 1840, which is twice in N.Z. because of the errata in Schönherr, 1842, this duplicate (unavailable, and not even an actual emendation: the misspelling is in a page header!) being misattributed as an emendation of Ischnocerus Schönherr, 1839.

Not Applicable Micronyx Dejean, 1835 Not Applicable Not Applicable
  • From B&B's notes this sounds like another nomen nudum. Though apparently on IRMNG it's a "synonym at subgenus rank", according to the descriptive notes.
  • I've no idea about the validity of Micronyx Schönherr, 1833 meanwhile...
    • All versions of Micronyx except Micronyx Boisduval (which is the senior and valid name for Stethaspis Hope, 1837) are objective synonyms of Smicronyx Schönherr, 1843, which is a replacement name for Schönherr, 1835. "Smicronyx (Micronyx)" is therefore impossible nonsense under the code. See Alonso-Zaragaza & Lyal, 1999:82. It's only a "synonym at subgeneric rank" if you consider that the type subgenus can have synonyms of its own (which is a weird area of nomenclature that neither ICZN nor ICBN really cover).
      • Ultimately the issue was that IRMNG is missing Micronyx Schönherr, 1835. That name is missing in IRMNG, hence the confusion: N.Z. lists it in a supplementary record as "Schönherr, 1836".

    • Actually, it indicates that Thomson made it available (as Aerenea Thomson, 1857) and makes no mention of Aerenica.
    • Thomson clearly spells it as Aerenaea at first, then makes what can only be considered an unjustified emendation to Aerenea, which is now in prevailing usage. This situation is misleadingly characterised by Roguet as "Aerenea Thomson • Arch. ent. • 1857 • 1: 298[ nov div syn] \\ Aerenea = Aerenaea ; Thomson • Arch. ent. • 1857 • 1 : 298." even though the "Aerenea" spelling does not actually appear until 1860.

(nomen nudum)

  • According to the Lamiines of World website, Amblesthis Thomson, 1860 is a subgenus of Deroplia Bedel, 1889 (see this page)
  • The same website states Stenidea Mulsant, 1842 is a synonym of Deroplia Dejean, 1835 (see entry for Deroplia further down in this section when I've made it; also see this page)
  • This would mean Deroplia Bedel, 1889 (currently listed a synonym of Stenidea on IRMNG) is a synonym/later usage of Deroplia Dejean, 1835
    • Yes. It seems like Hallan might've imported it from this publication. This is somewhat puzzling as Hallan usually list antedating relative to Neave. It's not a sensu case either (as was the case with "Psapharochus Casey, 1913" also imported from Hallan), but rather Brustel et al. are clearly unaware of Rosenhauer's name.

    • Tetrops Stephens, 1831 is probably a later usage since Lamiinae.org lists Polyopsia Mulsant, 1839 as a synonym of the Kirby name

  • Actually, this might be a bit more confusing than I thought... according to Özdikmen (2008) and Danilevsky (2012) Tetrops as used by Kirby, 1826 should be a synonym of Tetraopes Dalman [in Schönherr], 1817 (which on IRMNG is known as Tetraopes Schönherr, 1817) because the only included species in the former is now included in the latter. I get the impression there is some pending ICZN opinion on the matter (is there anything on BZN about this?); however, Danilevsky (2012) says it is better to use the authority "Kirby, 1826" with type species Leptura praeusta Linnaeus, 1758 until Tetrops Kirby, 1826 is suppressed in favour of Tetrops Stephens, 1829.
    • I think what happened is that Vives and ödikmen & Turgut (Özdikmen has a somewhat patchy record with the code and ltierature searches) misinterpreted Tetrops Kirby, which can be reasonably construed as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Tetraopes Dalman, thus not threatening Tetrops Stephens because it is unavailable. And so no case was ever made in the Bulletin. If this is so, Danilevsky, Hoskovec et al. (Cerambyx) and Roguet (Lamiaire du monde) are messing up the entire record by taking Kirby, 1826 (which Danilevsky even registered in Zoobank AAAARGH) as the correct authority for Stephens, 1831.
      • After writing what I said earlier, I have since discovered similar comments on Tetrops's authority in both {{Bousquet et al., 2009}} (see pages 38-39) and Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera volume 6, the latter of which is a comment written by Bousquet himself, though the catalogue itself uses Tetrops Stephens, 1829 (see page 332 if you have access to the full thing, it's not visible on Google Books right now I think). This probably doesn't make things any better though.
        • I'm not allowed to see the page in Löbl & Smetana, but Bousquet et al.'s explanation is much, much clearer than Özdikmen, at least. In a strict application of the code, Tetrops Stephens is not available because Stephens indubitably intends it to be Tetrops Kirby, so you can't say there is homonymy. I suspect the interpretation that people followed is rather that the mention of Leptura praeusta by Kirby wasn't done is such a way as to violate ICZN Art. 67.2, so it can considered an originally included species and thus an eligible type for Tetrops Kirby, removing that name from the synonymy of Tetraopes and turning it into the correct authorship for Tetrops Stephens instead. And here's the Smoking gun from Danilevsky arguing exactly that!
  • According to Danilevsky (2018) (which uses the "Kirby, 1826" authority, see note above), Mimosophronica Breuning, 1943 is now a subgenus of Tetrops (whichever authority you prefer, at this point I can't decide)
  • In summary (by Circeus):
    • Regardless of all the arguing, Stephens intended to refer to Tetrops Kirby
    • It is possible that "Tetrops Kirby" is in fact a misspelling of Tetraopes Dalman, though very few people have argued in favor of this, for some reason
    • Lamia tornator is the only indubitably originally included species in Tetrops Kirby
    • Saperda praeusta is the only species listed by Stephens
    • L. tornator and S. praeusta do not belong to the same general
      • L. tornator is a Tetraopes Dalman, S. praeusta belongs to whatever "Tetrops Stephens" is.
    • Really, if Tetrops Kirby is available, the correct name for Tetrops "sensu" Stephens (again, very much intended by Stephens as Tetrops Kirby) is Polyopsia Mulsant.
    • People really, really do not want to lose Tetrops, and this leads to a lot of arguing over authorship and the application of the code.
    • Especially about whether Saperda praeusta can be considered an originally included species and designated type of Tetrops Kirby.
      • A moot point as doing so requires intervention form the committee anyway, because L. tornator was explicitly designated type by Thomson in 1869.
  • Personally, I believe the sensible approach is to consider Tetrops Kirby a misspelling. It is thus unavailable and its potential type irrelevant. Tetrops Stephens can be interpreted as an available name without requiring any intervention. Case closed. I don't understand why some authors seem to insist on fing=ding a way to credit Kirby as the author.

Aplectrus Dejean, 1835 Aplectrus Dejean, 1835
(nomen nudum)
  • The name probably became available as Aplectrus Chevrolat, 1842
    • According to Monné (2005), the authority is actually "Chevrolat in D'Orbigny, 1844", though oddly it quotes both "Chevrolat, 1844" or "Chevrolat, 1849" as the authority for the type species (Aplectrus lepturoides) [see page 17 vs 18]. Presumably 1849 is the error, though IRMNG in fact uses the 1849 date for the species already, which makes this confusing.
      • When in doubt, IRMNG is most likely to be the one in error. For insects, the Hallan/Brands and N.Z. records have basically not really been touched, so are likely between 50 to 20 years old for all intents and purposes (though Hallan significantly less likely to be in error if the difference is in date or authorship).

    • Astynomus Faldermann is Neave's presumed place of availability (though the species Falderman describes is apparently an Exocentrus). Astynomus Laporte = Eutrypanus Erichson, 1847 (the N.Z. record for it is missing in IRMNG, that's why there's no source) and quite a few species listed under Ast. Falderman belong under Laporte's genus.

Callimation Dejean, 1835 Callimation Dejean, 1835
(nomen nudum)
Right now, according to IRMNG the available and valid name for this is Callimation Guérin-Méneville, 1844. However, according to this page on lamiinae.org it is actually Callimation Blanchard, 1844 that is valid. I don't know which of these is actually supposed to be correct at a glance, but given lamiinae.org is still being kept up to date I'm inclined to believe Blanchard, 1844 is the correct authority.
  • Looks like both references are in fact to the same work and that Blanchard was responsible (though uncredited in the work itself) for the Coleoptera of Iconographie du règne animal de G. Cuvier (Cowan, 1976, DOI: 10.3366/jsbnh.1976.8.1.32). The better format is Blanchard in Guérin-Méneville, 1844.
YesY
Carterica Dejean, 1835 Carterica Dejean, 1835

Similar situation as with Callimation above:

At least this time it looks like Pascoe, 1858 should be clearly the valid name by date priority, though no reference for Pascoe's description is given on lamiinae.org's bibliography. Going by Santos-Silva, Galileo & McClarin (2018), however, this appears to be page 263 in:

  • Pascoe, F.P. (1858) On new genera and species of longicorn Coleoptera. Part III. The Transactions of the Entomological Society of London, Series 2, 4, 236–266. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2311.1858.tb01823.x
    This is confirmed if you look under the "Taxa, synonyms" section on the Lamiinae page, where that paper is precisely the one cited. Lamiinae.org is sometimes a little oddly structured with regard to references...

Phidola Dejean, 1835 Phidola Dejean, 1835
(nomen nudum)
  • According to lamiinae.org, this is a synonym of Phidola Chevrolat, 1862, which appears to be treated as a valid genus, rather than a synonym of Eupogonius Leconte, 1852
  • Looking through the page for Eupogonius on lamiinae.org, the best I can guess is that Phidola Chevrolat, 1862 was confused with Phidola Thomson, 1864, which for whatever reason is spelled as "Phydola" on lamiinae.org. Though checking the original page on BHL shows that Thomson spelled it "Phidola" and was quoting Dejean's name... must be two different senses of the name involved here?
    • Absolutely not. Despite Thomson listing his name as "N.G.", it is clearly the same name as Chevrolat, 1862. How else could he refer to Chevrolat's species as type, and how else could others analyse it as a subsequent type designation? That this is attributed as "Phydola" to Thomson in both Lôbl & Smetana (2010) and the updated edition by Danilevsky (2020) is a frustrating mystery as Art. 33.3.1 certainly does not apply. I will email Drs. Danilevsky and Tavakilian (Actually Dr. Tavakilian is currently on a 2-month trip in ecuador so I won't ask him) regarding this. For now, I've entered it as an incorrect subsequent spelling. Circeus (talk)
    • ...oh wow I can't actually remember what exactly I was thinking anymore when I wrote the above months ago, but yes I too cannot find any instance of the "Phydola" spelling before the chapter in Löbl & Smetana (2010) even in a quick Google Books search. Very strange.

  • status unknown according to Bousquet & Bouchard, 2013; two of its species are available, but are placed in genera Solymus Lacordaire, 1872 and Frea Thomson, 1858. Phymasterna Laporte in Brullé, 1840 appears to be a separate name with a type species not originally included under Dejean's name. B&B suggest involving the commission to suppress Dejean's name (for the Principles of Homonymy and Priority) in this case, but as far as I can tell nothing has happened yet in the 8 years since their article.
  • Meanwhile, lamiinae.org just lists the name as a synonym of Solymus Lacordaire, 1872. This makes some sense but it doesn't exactly solve the homonymy+priority problem at all.

(nomen nudum)
  • Plectromerus Haldeman, 1847 seems to be the first available use of this name, which seems to be generally treated as valid (such as in p. 53 of Bousquet et al., 2009)
    • It is published here, the type is Obrium dentatum Leconte, 1824 (=Callidium dentipes Olivier, 1790) Circeus (talk)
  • I'm not sure where Plectromerus Leconte, 1862 comes from (indeed the page number seems to be nonsense, as there is no page 304 in LeConte's "Classification of the Coleoptera of North America"), but it's likely a later usage or synonym of the Haldeman name.
    • This turns out to be a separate availability of Dejean's name with type Curius scambus Newman, 1841 (also a synonym of C. dentipes), but the date is incorrect. It's actually from Leconte (1873).Circeus (talk)

On an unrelated note, I just noticed ZooBank's record for Plectromerus roncavei Nearns & Miller, 2009 has Plectromerus Dejean, 1835 as its parent, rather than the intended Plectromerus Haldeman, 1847 (which is not on ZooBank). Even though the species record was registered in 2009 and the genus one was registered in 2020!

(nomen nudum)
  • not a nomen nudum

  • unavailable name
    • This turns out to be more complicated. The name was used as the basis for two different genera: Pyrobolus Chevrolat in Guérin-Méneville, 1838:284 and Dylobolus Thomson, 1868:195. I have changed its status to nomen nudum, unsynonymized. Circeus (talk)
      • @Circeus: Going by the original page in Dejean's catalogue it was possibly Chevrolat who coined the name Pyrobolus to begin with. So Chevrolat himself was reusing his own name Pyrobolus for a valid genus in Guérin-Méneville, 1838? (But because it was proposed in synonymy with Amphionycha possibly Article 50.7 applies here and it has to be credited to Dejean anyway?) Also notably, Hemilophus Audinet-Serville, 1835 was also listed under the synonymy of Amphionycha in Dejean's catalogue. Not sure if any of this information helps you at all though.

    • Sphenura Laporte, 1840 is a separate later usage that was left accidentally in the synonymy of Glenea (this is also why I prefer to "nestle" synonymies in IRMNG!). Circeus (talk)
      • Now we have a problem because Hapochoron Gistel, 1848 is an earlier replacement name which seems to have also been forgotten as it was not an issue while Nupserha was treated as a synonym of Glenea. Luckily, Nupserha species are agricultural pests and it will be easy to assemble references for a reversal of precedence. I will wait to see of more Notulae arise from the rest of this work.

(nomen nudum)
  • According to lamiinae.org, this name became available as "Talaepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1859" (YesY Added), which is a synonym of Adetus Leconte, 1852
    • "Talaepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1859" might actually be Taloepora Fairmaire, 1860 on IRMNG, which is in fact spelled Taloepora in the original article: see here. Fairmaire and Germain are both authors of the article, but according to Evenhuis' dating of Annales de la Société Entomologique de France page 521 of vol. 7 in ser. 3 was published in 1860 (despite the year being given as 1859)
    • so in conclusion it is probably correctly cited as Taloepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1860? Odd that no one else has done this anywhere online that I can see, it's either given the correct year or the correct authors, never both.
      • Combination of "it's a synonym so no one ever cared to look that close" and "œ and æ" look almost indistinguishable in italics. I'll point out the needed corrects to Dr. Tavakilian Circeus (talk)
        • That's funny because it wasn't in italics in the original article, nor does it use either of those ligatures, it's plainly spelled as " G. Taloepora Dej., Cat." in Roman type. Otherwise, there is also Article 58 now I think about it, but I'm not sure if that applies here at all. Monster Iestyn (talk)
          • I noticed. Probably also a "well they obviously meant X". Article 58 doesn't apply, because that's for species-group names only. You're thinking of 33.3.1, which I personally think should no apply to names not treated as applying to a valid taxon. The actual relevant article as far as homonymy goes is 56.2. Circeus (talk)

[undent] WOW, this really turned into a serious rabbit hole. Turns out that BOTH spellings are separately available, and neither of them has Fairmaire & Germain as authors:

  • Chevrolat, 1849:325 made Talaepora available by assigning Saperda punctigera to it as the valid name for Dejean's Talaeopora mutica
  • Just to complicate things a little, "Talaepora mutica" was made available as Agennopsis mutica Thomson, 1858:302 (=Adetus analis Leconte, 1852)
  • By citing Taloepora (note spelling!), Thomson, 1858 antedates the publication of that name.

In summary, we have:

  • Talaepora Chevrolat, 1849 [non Talaepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1859, incorrect spelling]. Type Saperda punctigera Germar by monotypy. This is the valid name for Adetaptera Santos-Silva, Nascimento & Wappes, 2019 (!!!).
  • Taloepora Thomson, 1858 [non Taloepora Fairmaire & Germain, 1859, validating authors]. Type Taloepora pusilla Fairmaire & Germain, 1859 by subsequent designation of Villier, 1980 (Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (n.s.) , 1980, 16(4):543)

    • According to lamiinae.org, Anisocerus Audinet-Serville, 1836 is a citation/later usage of Anisocerus Lacordaire, 1830
    • page 181 of Lacordaire, 1830 gives ("Lepel. et Serv.") [almost certainly means Lepeletier and Audinet-Serville], however I'm not whether Anisocerus should be credited to Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville or whether it should be credited to Lacordaire anyway (which is what both lamiinae.org as well as Bousquet & Bouchard do)
      1. It seems to me that the correct authorship is to Lacordaire. Names in the second half are ascribed to Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville because of a note on p. 170: [my translation] "For genera, I shall follow the many segregates by Messrs. Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau and A. Serville, who specifically treated these insects, and as their work remain unpublished, I shall refer these genera to those of in the Catalogue of Mr. the Count Dejean where possible." However, there is no indication that characters come from them and as they cannot be solely responsible for the name under 50.1, authorship defaults to Lacordaire.
        • Note that Roguet is not consistent in authorship assignation for that publication. Tavakilian assigns all of them to Lacordaire.
      2. Let's throw in Anisaerus Drapiez, 1837: 221 (YesY added). Tavakilian/TITAN has it as a new name, but I'm with Roguet in treating it as a misspelling. Circeus (talk)

  • [2]: Zygocera Erichson, 1842 is now a synonym of Disterna Thomson, 1864
  • [3]: Disternopsis Breuning, 1939 is still treated as a separate genus??

(I'll need to check Australian Longhorn Beetles myself to double check the above)

Ah, no, lamiinae.org is actually somewhat misleading here: Disternopsis Breuning, 1939 is now treated as a synonym of Zygocera Dejean, 1835 in Australian Longhorn Beetles; it appears to me that the only reason that lamiinae.org still has a page for Disternopsis is that nobody has done anything about the last remaining species included, Disternopsis bivittipennis Breuning, 1968, even though it is not the type species of the genus (and the actual type species is now in another genus). Weird, but I take it the genus page will go away as soon as someone finds a new home for the species.

Tétramères: Chrysomélines edit

  • A warning: you will find that virtually every single one of these names is entered twice in IRMNG, once with author "Dejean, 1835" (N.Z.'s "nomima nuda") and once with "Chevrolat, 1837" (from Hallan). Neither of these is correct, and they should mostly be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836" according to the IRMNG scheme.

    • Okay yes I can confirm that "Duponchel & Chevrolat" at least are the correct authors, from "D & C" in p. 227, and according to Bousquet, 2016 the publication year for the volume (Tome deuxième (= vol. 2) of Dictionnaire universel d'histoire naturelle) is 1842 (though the page itself may have been published in 1841?)

2022 update: Konstantinov et al. (2022) possibly considers Litosonycha and Asphaera to be separate genera (presumably, at least from the abstract). It also considers Ptena Chevrolat, 1836 to be a senior synonym of Asphaera. Monster Iestyn (talk)

Found the full-text on ResearchGate and yes, can confirm:x
"Litosonycha differs from Asphaera in several characters: distance between antennal sockets more than transverse

diameter of antennal socket in frontal view; second antennomere longer than half length of the third antennomere; anterolateral callosity of pronotum short, bent anterolaterally; lateral margin of elytron narrowly explanate (see key to genera above), elytra generally wide and elytral epipleura not visible in lateral view."

  • No unwelcome surprise for this one. Duponchel and Chevrolat associate it with Colaspis Fabricius, so I'll use that for synonymy. Circeus (talk)
    • Hm, to be honest I'm not sure if anything can reasonably be done here. All D&C were saying is that it was originally part of Colaspis, which is not saying very much considering that Colaspis was originally (and still is) a rather large genus that probably had to be split up (and still does need to be, apparently). It's probably true for a few other Dejean/Chevrolat names, such as Bathseba just below on the same page. Searching for the name in Seeno & Wilcox (1982) in Snippet View on Google Books tells me it's listed under "NOMINA NUDA in Eumolpinae, not identified", along with other names from Dejean's catalogue unsurprisingly.

    • Chlamophora Agassiz, 1846 (Agassiz is presumably the author who amended the spelling)
    • Chlamophora Chevrolat, 1837 N Deleted (Hallan duplicate, which uses the amended spelling)
    • oddly enough, the type species given for Chlamophora is "Chlamophora clypeata Clark, 1865", which was obviously not included in the original publication for Clamophora
      • This is common when a genus is described in details, but without actually mentioning a species to be included. I might email A.S. Konstantinov for info about this mess. Furth & Savini, 1998 assumes without any evidence that Chevrolat makes the name available. Lingafelter & al. mentions in passing a Clamophora Jacoby [1885] as a synonym/alt spelling of Chlamophora, seemingly entirely unaware that "Clamophora" is in fact the original spelling! It looks to me as though the Chrysomelid researchers have just uncritically accepted that Chevrolat 1836 made the name available (especially judging by the sources used by Furth & Savini, 1998 to correct the date of publication!), but Bousquet & Bouchard neglected to discuss this point as their main taxonomic interest is tenebrionids.
    • I've also seen the authority for Chlamophora stated to be "Chevrolat, 1843" in some sources
      • There it is, and if Bousquet & Bouchard are correct about Clamophora Chevrolat, 1836, it is likely to be the place of availability (it is cited as such by Jacoby, anyway).

  • (somewhat original research): the suppressed name Colaphus Dahl, 1823 can probably be considered a synonym of Colaphellus Weise, 1916, since I have seen Dahl, 1823 and the only species listed is Chrysomela sophiae (now in Colaphellus, which was a replacement name for Colaphus Redtenbacher, 1845) YesY
    • Note: some online databases, e.g. Fauna Europaea, incorrectly use Colaphus Dahl, 1823 as valid despite the fact Dahl's work was suppressed by the ICZN; I think this is also the case for some other genus names by Dahl, 1823

Edusa Chevrolat, 1836
  • authority should be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836"
  • not a nomen nudum
  • senior synonym of Edusella Chapuis in Lacordaire, 1874
  • "Edusa Chevrolat, 1836 has precedence over Edusella Chapuis, 1874 which is currently used as valid (e.g., Seeno and Wilcox 1982: 59). Reversal of Precedence (ICZN 1999: Article 23.9) cannot be used because Edusa Chevrolat was used as valid after 1899 (e.g., Weise 1923: 53). Therefore an application to the Commission is necesssary to conserve usage of the name Edusella Chapuis."
    • Some background, possibly not relevant: the genus was originally called Edusa, but was credited to Chapuis, 1874, which would have made it a junior homonym of three others of the same name (Edusa Gistel, 1848 in Tunicata, Edusa Albers, 1860 in Gastropoda and Edusa Martens, 1860 in Mollusca, according to Bouchard et al. (2011)). So the name was changed to that of one of its former subgenera, Edusella, established by Chapuis. However, the fact Chevrolat's name was available all along means it could be switched back to Edusa in future; I suspect this will happen eventually, once Australian Beetles Volume 3 finally comes out.
    • Edusa Albers, 1860 isn't actually on IRMNG right now, though according to WoRMS, which cites MolluscaBase, it is a synonym of Moreletia Gray, 1855 (a subgenus of Mesomphix Rafinesque, 1819).
      • Then again, maybe Edusa Martens, 1860 is the same genus as Edusa Albers, 1860? (YesY Authorship corrected) On N.Z., it has the note "(Albers MS.)". Looking up the original description (Die Heliceen nach natürlicher Verwandtschaft systematisch geordnet Edition 2, page 72) does indicate it is either Edusa Albers in Martens, 1860 or Edusa Albers, 1860, depending on who can be considered the author of the work (I think?).
        • The title page qualifies it as such: "Zweite Ausgabe nach dem hinterlassenen manuskript besorgt von Martens". For context, Albers died in 1857. So the work is by Martens based off Albers' manuscript. I'm strongly inclined to follow the authorship of WoRMS in this case as I'm pretty sure Martens would ascribe to Albers name that were in the original manuscript. Circeus (talk)

However, the same publication also uses Fidia Motschulsky, 1860 as the valid name for the genus Lypesthes Baly, 1863, so IRMNG probably should have those two records updated as well.  Done

Somewhat unrelated note: I'm not sure whether Embryon Thomson, 1857 is also a synonym of Brevicolaspis or not; in some publications it is, but on lamiinae.org it is a valid genus in Cerambycidae... see Talk:Embryon here on Wikispecies for my notes about this problem.

  • Okay, so GBIF and IRMNG are irrelevant here because they both ultimately trace back to TITAN. Probably an earlier version that previously quoted Embryon as a valid cerambycid genus (or even worse, mishandled the data and listed as a cerambycid, while it wasn't even so in TITAN to begin with!). Same for CoL, which is the intermediate that fed it into IRMNG. Honestly, the part that confuses me is how Thomson could confuse a Chrysomelid and a Lamiine?? None of the sources synonymizing the name to Brevicolaspis bother with any sort of explanation! (on his second use, he specifically compares the genus with Leptochilus, rejecting his original choice of Brachychilus, but neither of these genera look anything like Brevicolaspis!) Circeus (talk)
    I also know that Gemminger & Harold (1874)'s Catalogus Coleopterorum volume 11 lists Embryon as a member of Chrysomelidae in page 3377, where it is positioned directly before Brevicolaspis in fact. But as far as I know there's no explanation for this position there either. You would have thought Harold or Lefèvre might have at least published an explanation in one of their many notes, both of them seem to have been rather prolific at them. Monster Iestyn (talk)
    anyway, I ended up listing it as taxon inquirendum. Circeus (talk)

    • ...hang on, should that maybe be Sphaerosoma Samouelle, 1819? (which if the same genus, is misplaced in Coccinellidae for some reason)
    • Looking around online, it does appear to be the same genus (e.g. in Checklist of the Alexiidae of the World (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea), though if I'm being honest going by the original page (page 394) I'm not entirely sure how it's available at all (the only information given on S. quercus is that it's found on oaks, with no apparent description of the beetle species itself; is this enough to make the species name even available?). But I'm entirely new to this family so I'm not going to question this for now.
    • Okay on second thoughts, I must not be the only one who thinks Stephens, 1832 should be used rather than Samouelle, 1819: In the Errata for Volume 4 of Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (given in Volume 7 from 2011), page 31, it lists changing the author of Sphaerosoma to Stephens, 1832, and likewise for Sphaerosoma quercus (also now a synonym of pilosum Panzer, 1793). An online version of all the Errata for Volumes 1 to 7 exists online here.
  • Hygrotophila Champion, 1887 is a later usage, it probably refers to https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/9266967 page 227] of his "On the priority of various generic names in use in British Coleoptera", which cites Chevrolat's name.

      • "Labidostomis Germar, 1817" is a nonexistent name. It's actually more often cited with the date 1822, mostly from Russian and Turkish authors (1817 seems more common in Spain because that's how the name is cited in Fauna Ibérica), but this appears to be a severe misunderstanding of how species name are cited. Germar did publish in 1822 species that are now in Labidostomis, but he never mentioned that generic name at the time. Clearly this phantom name (which is tellingly never accompanied by a primary source) is due to these species often being cited without the parentheses that would serve to indicate a subsequent composition.

Annoyingly though, MIZA's Scratchpads sites don't seem to work anymore at least for me, but there's still a DOI to the [paywalled] article on Taylor & Francis)
    • yeah, the note is confusing. Looking at the paper (Elbakyan to the rescue!) I think they mean they couldn't consult the 1955 paper briefly mentioned as not making the name nomenclaturally available. I believe their assertion that the previous mention is unavailable because the discussed character is not discriminant enough is incorrect (I actually asked User:Dyanega about this regarding Sphaerosoma, but this is a much better example). The code (art. 13.1.1.) requires merely that there be purported characters in addition to a type species, not that these characters be necessarily sufficient. The relevant page in Bechyné, 1955 is here, the last para under Monomacra peruviana, to be precise. YesY Date corrected and note added Circeus (talk)

    • Actually, Bousquet and Bouchard are basically disputing the reasoning for conserving the name with ascription to Dejean over Stal. Originally Leptinotaras Stal was being conserved against Polygramma, but ICZN realised that the same argument caused Leptinotarsa Dejean to be available by inclusion of Altica cinctipennis Chevrolat, 1834 (currently placed in Omophoita).

  • Oh dear, Ochralea Clark, 1865... I actually already had a discussion with Dyanega about this and Ochralea Chevrolat, 1836 over on the English Wikipedia (see here). Basically, Hazmi & Wagner (2010) revalidated Ochralea Clark, 1865 as a separate genus from Monolepta, but without realising (perhaps understandably) that it was a junior homonym of Ochralea Chevrolat, 1836, which itself is now a synonym of Oides Weber, 1801. Unfortunately there is not yet a substitute name for Ochralea Clark, 1865, so it currently stands as a valid genus but needing a replacement name.
    • Oh, it gets better. In my opinion, Clarke is explicitly using Chevrolat's genus ("The genus Ochralea, proposed by Chevrolat, appears to be a very natural one, and of much more easy definition than the species themselves that compose it."). There is a cogent argument that his name is indeed just a later use (well, misuse in this case...) of Chevrolat (that Clarke believed it unavailable is irrelevant) and not even available in its own right!

    • Actually... This at the very least available from Chevrolat, 1847:734.
    • This is an interesting case, really. The Illigerian name mentioned by Chevrolat in D'Orbigny was (as far as I can tell) intended as a subgeneric, but Illiger calls his subdivisions "Familien" and uses adjectival forms, rendering them unavailable. Although the name were used for subfamilial classification for a while in what was then known as Halticidae, and another of those names is the direct predecessor of Longitarsus. There's debate whether those names based on Illiger's "Familien" should be attributed to Berthold or Latreille. If the Berthold versions are available, then it follows that Dejean's use too is available from 1836.
    • This needs confirmation from an Alticini specialist, but assuming Google Translates didn't mangle Kuschera, 1859's explanations, this name appears to be either a junior (possibly objective) synonym or in the vicinity of Oedionychus. Circeus (talk)
      • So, as it turns out, Chevrolat later (1849:6) assigns "Oe. annulicornis". as the type. Now in 1836, Oedipodes annulicornis was a nomen nudum, but I can't confirm whether a corresponding name was published in the intervening 13 years. Circeus (talk)

    • Checking volume 9 of Dictionnaire universel d'histoire naturelle, Chevrolat in page 102 indicates it is meant to be placed in "Alticites", which is also the same group of beetles that Crotch's name is placed with today. Sounds likely it should be in Chrysomelidae after all then.

Onchocephala Chevrolat, 1836 Onchocephala Dejean, 1835
(nomen nudum)
  • authority should be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836"
  • According to Staines' 2015 catalog of Hispines (tribe Oncocephalini page), this became available as Oncocephala Agassiz, 1846
    • Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844 is also a synonym of Oncocephala Agassiz: page 281 is where the type species of the latter (O. quadrilobata) became available. This does mean at first glance that Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844 appears to have priority though, and Bouchard et al. 2011 have commented on that...
      • ...but in their 2020 additions and corrections, they stated it was a junior homonym of Onchocephala de Blainville, 1828 (Annelides), which is not on IRMNG. So Agassiz's name must be used then, if this is actually the case.
        • And they are uncharacteristically incorrect in this instance. Onchocephala is actually a family-group name, and does not enter in synonymy with Guérin-Méneville's genus-group name. Circeus (talk)

Oreina Chevrolat, 1836
  • authority should be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836"
  • not a nomen nudum
  • valid genus
  • Oreina Monros & Bechyne, 1956 is a synonym of Chrysochloa Hope, 1840, which is currently considered a subgenus of Oreina; as it turns out, Monros & Bechyne designated Chrysomela tristis as the type species of Oreina (see page 1129 of their article, but this is also the type species of Chrysochloa Hope, 1840 (see page 165 of Hope (1840))! According to Bieńkowski's 2019 Chrysolina of the world (warning, PDF with 920 pages!) Oreina has sometimes been treated as a subgenus within Chrysolina, but most leaf beetle workers treat it as a valid genus instead; this may explain why there apparently must have been both Oreina as a valid genus and Oreina as a Chrysolina subgenus in Hallan's catalog going by the taxonomic notes on IRMNG (which would indicate that whoever compiled the subfamily Chrysomelinae page on there completely missed this inconsistency?).
    • Viewing a Wayback Machine archive of the Chrysomelinae page... wow I was right that is exactly what happened.
      • Alright, so it's absolutely impossible to argue that "Oreina Monros & Bechyne, 1956" is available. Under the code it is a misapplication based on Motschulsky technically invalid typification (ICZN article 70.2). At first blush it looks like most modern authors don't follow Monros & Bechyne (seeing the relevant pages in CPC vol. 6 would help. I have found a download, but I'm mildly concerned because I've never handled a djvu file on desktop). Borowiec et al., 2011 refer to "taxonomic and nomenclatural chaos within the genus Oreina", which does seem to accurately reflect the situation!
        • CPC vol. 6 treats Oreina Chevrolat, 1836 as a valid genus with type species Chrysomela speciosa Linnaeus, 1758, with Chrysochloa actually as a subgenus of it (and with type species Chrysomela tristis Fabricius, 1792). I've never seen anyone give "Monros & Bechyné, 1956" as an authority for Oreina (so far), for all I know that may have been invented by the Hallan catalog (?). (But then again, I have not yet seen Daccordi's 1994 article with a list of genera in Chrysomelinae...) Monster Iestyn (talk)

Oxygona Chevrolat, 1836
Ozomena Chevrolat, 1836
  • authority should be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836"
  • this is a nomen nudum
  • according to Lee & Bezděk (2019), Ozomena Harold, 1876 is a synonym of Theopea Baly, 1864; by implication of Gemminger & Harold, 1876's synonymy of both of Dejean's undescribed species with Theopea impressa, this also makes Ozomena Chevrolat, 1836 name probably a synonym too.
    • From the same source, it gets more complicated though with Dictionnaire universel d'histoire naturelle, as apparently Chevrolat listed Ozomena twice: once in volume 6 (Chevrolat (1845)) and once in volume 9 (Chevrolat (1847)), which are now synonyms of Cerophysa and Theopea respectively. Unfortunately I cannot tell which of these uses Ozomena Chevrolat, 1849 from Hallan's catalog is supposed to be, if either of them at all.
      • The situation here is similar to Ochralea: Should this be considered simply a misapplication of Chevrolat's name (cf. the treatment of "Ozomena Harold" in Lee & Bezděk, 2019) or a separately available name that happens to be a junior homonym? I brought the point up to Doug (since we might end up proposing a new name for Ochralea Clarke). Circeus (talk)

    • Pachyonychus Crotch, 1873 is actually a misspelling of Clark's name; in the same publication Crotch went on to replace Clark's name with Hamletia believing it to be a junior homonym; likewise Clarkaltica was a replacement name for Melsheimer's name
    • they even both have a single species named paradoxus or paradoxa, to make things worse!
    • Nadein's Alticini website actually gets the authority for Pachyonychus Melsheimer mixed up with Crotch, 1873, which is incorrect.
    • ah, hang on, in page 63 of Clark's work, Dejean's undescribed "Pachyonychus dimidiaticornis" (the only species listed in Dejean's catalogue under that name) is listed as a synonym of Pachyonychis paradoxus Clark. This could settle Dejean's Pachyonychus as a synonym of Pachyonychis Clark, 1860 then maybe?
      • I'd accept that, but it turns out the update I get excited about under Oreina makes it impossible to mark nomina nuda as synonyms of other names! Circeus (talk) 02:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

    • as a side note, this exact same problem exists for some other flea beetle genera on the same page as Oedionychus in Berthold, 1827:

What we have here is a disagreement on the availability of Berthold's name (discussed above under Oedipodes). personally, I take these as available through indication to a published description (12.2.1). Circeus (talk)

I probably would have treated them as available myself if I didn't know better to be honest, but apparently Doug thinks otherwise going by his edits to Psylliodes on Wikispecies in 2019; I followed suit for the Longitarsus page likewise last year. He's not the only one who thinks this, e.g. Konstantinov (2005) for Longitarsus. I think the inference is that the description for the "Galérucites" group in Berthold's work ([4]) fits all the included genera in the group but doesn't distinguish the genera themselves from each other at all, making them nomina nuda. But I'm not a code expert so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about and they're still available as you say. Monster Iestyn (talk)

    • hm, Periscapta is indeed listed in page 625 of volume 9, but I don't think it's available here either
    • unfortunately MIZA's Scratchpads sites are all down which also brings down all of their online archives of Bechyné's papers... luckily the one establishing Prasocuroides is available on Wayback Machine here.
      • I agree that Periscapta is not available, but the reason it is in the synonymy of Prasocuroides is that Vogel thought his Prasocuris nana (protologue here) to be the Periscapta nana of Dejean. I do not, however, see any use of Periscapta as the valid name for that genus in the recent literature?? Circeus (talk)
        • yeah, it's weird, I scraped Google Book's snippet view of {{Seeno & Wilcox, 1982}} for instance and I think they treat "Periscapta Dejean, 1837" as valid (they give a general distribution of "S.

That typification is associated with Orchestris sensu Crotch, 1873:65 (an unavailable misapplication, and certainly not a junior homonym as given in AFD!) and probably the invalid typification by Chevrolat pointed out by Bousquet & Bouchard.

(The answer being that he must have seen that AFD gave the authority as "Chevrolat, 1837"). Monster Iestyn (talk)
        • In a way, I was also musing that he didn't notice Chevrolat, 1839 was citing a different publication ("Rev. Zool. (Soc.

    • Neave's comments for Paraulaca Ogloblin, 1936 suggest it should also be placed as a synonym of Paridea Baly, 1886, since its replacement name Carapaula Chûjô, 1962 is a synonym of it as well
      • At first blush—impossible to be fully certain because Ogloblin is from the Fauna SSSR series (if I interpret Orlova-Bienkowskaja & Bieńkowski, 2014 correctly, anyway) and Chujo from an issue of Philippine Journal of Science that is not digitized—it looks like Ogloblin's name is an unavailable sensu name, making Chûjô, 1962 (NOT "Ghujo" as listed in the note!) an objective synonym of Bally. But then both Bally and Chujo's name are apparently treated as invalid synonyms of Paridea either way (Lee & Bezděk, 2014). So no nomenclatural issues so long as no one tries to revalidate Carapaula. Phew! Circeus (talk)
      • Some Brazilian authors have used "Paraulaca dives" for the species, and I dunno if that makes it impossible to enact a reversal of precedence... IMO Bouchard & Bousquet should have synonymised this genus with Eriphylina Lefèvre instead to begin with, as that genus is seemingly a lot more obscure (possibly a synonym of Guyanica?? Monrós & Bechyné, 1956:1125 synonymized it, but it's unclear whether it was later revalidated... I can barely find any mentions of ot at all) and replacing it would have led to fairly minimal disruption, whereas Iphimeis dives is an agricultural pest. Circeus (talk)
        • Yeah, after Bechyné died in the 70s, I don't think anyone has published anything on Guyanica/Eriphylina at all (except B&B and later Bezdek (2020) treating Guyanica as valid, that's about it). I don't know many articles on Iphimeis/Pleuraulaca either. As I said further down here at Sphaeroplacis it's quite hard to find many recent publications on anything in the subfamily Eumolpinae altogether, especially on those in the Neotropics.

    • While as B&B already note, Spartophila does not appear in Stephens' Illustrations of British Entomology, it does actually appear in his 1839 A Manual of British Coleoptera on page 310. It sounds like both the year and page number got miscited as 1834 and 340 somehow over the years? Unfortunately this doesn't provide an earlier type designation than Hope, 1840, but it was worth a look just in case.
    • ...Actually, it's even *stranger* than that, on a closer inspection at Stephens, 1839: 310 ...that page also cites the same mysterious page 340 in volume iv of Mandibulata supposedly in Illustrations of British entomology?
      • Well, that explains the propagation of the 1834 citation, at least. Circeus (talk)

Sphaeroplacis Chevrolat, 1836
  • authority should be "Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836"
  • this is a nomen nudum
  • synonymy with Antitypona Weise, 1921 should be correct, it's listed as one in Bechyné's 1953 Neotropical Eumolpinae catalog.
    • however, now I'm here I vaguely remember noticing years ago that one or two species are apparently noted as originally placed under Sphaeroplacis ...particularly Antitypona sanguinea (Fauvel, 1861) and Parachalcoplacis tricolor (Fauvel, 1861) (now Chalcoplacis tricolor)
    • and indeed they are ([6] [7]), oh dear, so Fauvel probably unwittingly made Sphaeroplacis available (unless Chevrolat beat him to it in the Dictionnaire?)
    • I now also remember that Clavareau, 1914's Eumolpinae catalog lists Sphaeroplacis as a genus in the "Incertae sedis" section (and evidently Lefèvre listed it his 1885 Eumolpinae catalog as well), so there goes the "has not been used as a valid name after 1899" condition in 23.9.1.1. Couldn't tell you offhand if anyone has used the name as valid since then, I'd need to traverse Bechyné's earlier articles to check that (I hear a new website for MIZA's Chrysomelidae collection is being worked on atm, maybe the Bechyné articles will be reuploaded there?)
    • Even if it wasn't for Clavareau, I don't know if enough works have been published in the last 50 years that mention Antitypona (or indeed enough authors) to meet Article 23.9.1.2 or not offhand, this would take some real scouring to verify. There was definitely a bit of a gap with works on the subfamily Eumolpinae at all in the 80s (after both Doris H. Blake and Jan Bechyné died in the 70s), even now you'd be hard pressed to find many people publishing works on the subfamily (especially those in the Neotropics) even since I started editing Wikipedia articles to do with leaf beetles 4 or 5 years ago. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got over the years.
    • then again I don't think a type species has ever been designated for Sphaeroplacis Fauvel, 1861 (probably because nobody realised it was valid from there, obviously), but what a mess this is anyway
      • Luckily, the name doesn't threaten Chalcoplacis. Looks like we can safely designate tricolor as type, so it's not that much of a mess, or am I overlooking something in your account? Circeus (talk)

  • Spintherophyta Lefèvre, 1875 is actually another one of those unavailable "sensu" names we've been talking about with Doug recently. It was "replaced" with Phytospinthera Monros & Bechyne, 1956 ([8]), which itself later became a synonym of Metaparia Crotch, 1873 in {{Flowers, 1996}}. A recent revision of Metaparia at the end of last year ({{Sublett & Cook, 2021}}) still maintains these two as synonyms, so I've checked for myself.
    • Lefèvre is explicitly borrowing the name alone and not intending to use the concept of Dejean at all, just the name. It's something that would fall under ICBN art. 48.1, but the ICZN does not have an explicit provision for this particular case and it probably falls into a sensu situation indeed. It would be advantageous, IMO, for this provision to be borrowed into the ICZN. Circeus (talk) 13:44, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

As far as I know the whole Chrysomelidae section on the AFD website was handled by Chris Reid, an expert on Chrysomelidae, but beyond that I'm not sure if it's stated in literature at all that Weise got it wrong (unless it's in Matthews & Reid 2002's A Guide to the Genera of Beetles of South Australia? which I have not seen yet)

Trimères edit

Some notes:

  • There are some more genera authored by Chevrolat in this section, so this will have the same problem with duplicate entries as the previous one most likely
  • Since this involves families such as Coccinellidae and Endomychidae so I noticed, there is a small chance that a few of these may possibly now be in other families as of Robertson et al. (2015) (which establishes the new superfamily Coccinelloidea). But this might be a rabbit hole of its own, then again, as I have been learning througgh updating Wikispecies and now Commons with its changes recently, so maybe best not worry about that for now.
    • though, if you were worrying about the changes in Robertson et al. (2015)... family classification changes in the article also affect genera in earlier sections of Dejean's catalogue as it turns out; e.g. Teredus Dejean, 1835 in Tétramères: Xylophages was placed in Bothrideridae, but is now the type genus of Teredidae (consisting of three former subfamilies of Bothrideridae). I have not thoroughly checked for any other Dejean names that might be affected by these changes though.
      • In the absence of genus-level lists, that publication is useless for me. It basically requires me to puzzle the placement of a specific genera pre-robertson first before I can apply Robertson and no thank you. Circeus (talk)

      • If you're trying to access Bousquet (2004), that's actually already available online via zin.ru: [11], as I found out some time back. Bousquet (2004) as it turns out doesn't elaborate exactly why it's supposedly available, just states that it is. B&B must have later realised that was wrong anyway, Dejean's catalogue includes 7 species, almost all of which are Dejean/Chevrolat nomina nuda, with hispidus being a species inquirenda. Hence B&B's statement that it has no originally included available species. Monster Iestyn (talk)
        • Huh, now that I look at it I think I actually came across it at some point too, and then forgot about it because it wasn't that relevant to us. Your assessment Bousquet probably thought Hispidus was a validly included species seems accurate. The correct term is "doubtfully included species" (ICZN 67.2.5), though an actual species inquirenda would also not be considered an originally included species. Circeus (talk) 13:12, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
        • According to B&B Dejean used "?" when he wasn't sure if his identification was correct, so they used the term "species inquirenda" which I followed here. Though to be honest I had confused the terms anyway, thankfully the distinction didn't matter for this case. Monster Iestyn (talk)

    • Ah okay, it might actually be possible B&B got it wrong and Orestia Chevrolat, 1836 is actually available, with type species Lycoperdina alpina Germar, 1824 by monotypy, and it's actually pretty easy to understand why they might have missed this species (or perhaps didn't include it as available due to its ambiguity?):
      • in Germar, 1824, Lycoperdina alpina is described on page 622 as "Lycoperdina alpina Ziegleri", perhaps intending to credit Ziegler for the name
      • Dejean's catalogue then actually lists this name as "Alpina. Ziegler" [13] which appears at first glance to be an unavailable name (certainly it is not immediately traceable back to Germar's publication)
    • If the above justification for Orestia Chevrolat, 1836 being available is not good enough there's always the Dictionnaire again (vol. 9, page 190 published in 29 March 1847) which refers to the species as "O. alpina Ziegl., Germ."
  • Orestia Redtenbacher, 1845 is probably a later usage (or the available name if Chevrolat, 1836 is not?) but I can't confirm this based on the cited page alone, since it doesn't cite Dejean nor Chevrolat and places the genus in a different family to Chrysomelidae (presumably it was found to belong in that family later but I don't know enough about the genus's history to say for sure)
    • (actually Dictionnaire confirms it was meant to be in "Érotyliens" which is clearly equivalent to "Erotyli", so this may not be a problem).

Pelinus Dejean, 1836 Pelinus Dejean, 1835
(nomen nudum)
  • authority should be "Dejean, 1836"
  • probably became available as Pelinus Guérin-Méneville, 1857 (cited page)
    • I have absolutely no idea what family this genus belongs in, except that it is noted to actually belong in the Hétéromères instead of Trimères, since there appears to be no publication even in the 20th century mentioning the genus (nor its sole species, Pelinus lagrioides) judging from a quick a quick Google search; maybe it entered into synonymy with another genus but this is just a wild guess.
      • The Fongicoles is mostly modern Endomychidae, so I'm listing it as taxon inquirendum in that family. Maybe we can ask for help from Dr. Tomaszewska later on. Circeus (talk)

Name IRMNG record(s) Corrections and notes Done?
Aspistomus Dejean, 1833:8
(Carabiques)
Aspistomus Dejean, 1833 Name first used in synonymy by Dejean, 1831;402, which would be the correct antedating, but it does not appear to have been used as valid. It is a synonym of Macrocheilus (per Häckel & Farkač, 2013)
Omphra Dejean, 1833:81
(Carabiques)
Omphra Dejean, 1821 This name is currently dated to Dejean, 1825:285 (CPC ed. 2), but the correct dating is all the way back to Dejean, 1821:4.
Scapanetes Dejean, 1833:147
(Lamellicornes)
Currently the earliest publication of this name is attributed to Westwood, 1834:121 (e.g. Huchet, 2000:14), with the spelling Scaphinetes.
Anisus Dejean, 1834:246
(Curculionites)
Anisus Dejean, 1821 This is a synonym of Bronchus Germar, 1817 (Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999:138).
Trigonosoma Dejean, 1835:279
(Curculionites)
Trigonosoma Dejean, 1835 This is a synonym of Camptocheirus Lacordaire, 1863 (Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999:138).
Sphaerula Dejean, 1835:301
(Curculionites)
This name is currently dated to Villa & Villa, 1833:22 (Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999:210), but the correct dating is all the way back to Dejean, 1821:83.
Acalypha Dejean, 1835:311
(Xylophages)
Acalypha Dejean, 1835 I cannot trace any name (available or otherwise) likely to correspond to the "Latridius mollis" of the catalogue. I will list it as an unavailable synonym of Latridius in IRMN.
Nyctipeta Dejean, 1835:328
(Xylophages)
I think this name is best treated as a misspelling of Nyctipates Dejean, 1835.
Spermatophilus Dejean, 1835:357
(Chrysomélines)
This is a later use of Fischer, 1824, which would be the correct antedating if the name turned out to be available. It is a synonyms of Rhaebus Fischer, 1824
Dicella Dejean, 1836:377
(Chrysomélines)
This name was seemingly never available. It is associated with Schematiza compressicornis (Fabricius, 1801)

    • I need to examine evidence to understand why B&B 2013 attributes this name to Dejean, 1821 while Bouchard et al, 2021 ascribes it to Sturm, 1826. Dejean, 1821 appears available through inclusion of Opatrum gibbum Fabricius. I will have to ask Patrice Bouchard when I get to share my findings regarding the Tenebrionidae catalogue with him.
      • Although Dejean's authorship attribution are often sketchy, he separately listed Opatrum gibbum Fabricius under Heliophilus. Whatever "Opatrum gibbum Bonelli" is meant to refer to be (and I cannot find a proper reference, it may have been a collection name or a Sensu name seeing as it's also the type of Phylan Sturm), I assume it does not render the name available. The taxon itself seems to be Allophylax picipes (Olivier, 1811).
