Patrice Bouchard, Yves Bousquet, Anthony E. Davies, Chenyang Cai
TL;DR
This paper clarifies the naming rules for beetle families by reviewing and updating the status of their type genera and species.
Contribution
The paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of nomenclatural data for Coleoptera type genera and identifies corrections to authorship and type species designations.
Findings
Over 4700 family-group names in Coleoptera were reviewed for nomenclatural accuracy.
Multiple corrections to authorship and type species designations were identified and implemented.
Some nomenclatural issues require formal applications to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature for resolution.
Abstract
More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used for the classification of beetles depends on accurate nomenclatural data for each type genus. Following a review of taxonomic literature, with a focus on works that potentially contain type species designations, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural data associated with the type genus of each nomenclaturally available family-group name in Coleoptera. For each type genus the author(s), year of publication, and page number are given as well as its current status (i.e., whether treated as valid or not) and current classification. Information about the type species of each type genus and the type species fixation (i.e., fixed originally…

Introduction
Type genera are arguably the most important genera in any taxonomic group since authors have recognized the need to propose new suprageneric taxa to accommodate them in then-existing classifications. Information about the fixation of type species for genus-group names is often absent or incomplete in major works. For example, the influential and broadly used book series Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera lists the type species of all genus-group names found in the Palaearctic Region but does not include information about the type species fixation (i.e., fixed originally or subsequently, and if subsequently then by whom; ICZN 1999a, Article 67.4). The lack of information about the type species fixation in these and other works makes it impossible for subsequent authors to clearly determine if a type species designation found in the literature is the oldest, and therefore the valid fixation of the type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 70.2), or not. We believe that the inclusion of type genera (and, if possible, of their type species) in phylogenetic studies is of utmost importance since decisions regarding classifications are based on the clades that emerge from such analyses. Using incorrect terminal taxa in phylogenetic analyses has the potential to lead to undesirable decisions about classifications.
Following a review of scientific literature with a focus on works that potentially include type species designations, as well as trying to determine the date of publication of major works as accurately as possible, we provide a synthesis of nomenclatural information on Coleoptera type genera.
Methods
Nomenclatural data
Type genera are listed alphabetically. For each nominal type genus, the name, author(s), year of publication, page number, current status and placement, type species, and typification, as well as information regarding the family-group name based on it, are given.
Type species are important nomenclaturally since they provide the objective standard of reference for the application of the genus-group name they represent (ICZN 1999a, Article 61.1). Species that can be fixed as type are nominal species originally included in the newly established genus or subgenus that are cited by an available name (excluded are nominal species that were doubtfully or conditionally included in the new taxon) (see ICZN 1999a, Article 67.2). Type species can either be fixed in the original publication (ICZN 1999a, Article 68), in a subsequent publication (ICZN 1999a, Article 69) or, when nomenclatural problems are resolved by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (henceforth “Commission”), by a decision under its plenary power (ICZN 1999a, Article 81). In cases where several nominal species were originally included in a new genus or subgenus established before 1931, but none were fixed as the type species, the first author who subsequently designated one of the originally included nominal species as the type species fixed the type species and no later designation is valid (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.1). When an earlier type species fixation is discovered, it is to be accepted or a Case submitted to the Commission for a ruling if the overlooked fixation is considered to cause instability or confusion (ICZN 1999a, Article 70.2). When a type species is fixed, it is generally assumed that the identification of that species is correct (ICZN 1999a, Article 70.1); however, where evidence suggests that the type species was misidentified at the time it was fixed, we have selected the taxonomic species actually involved as type species accompanied with a reference to Article 70.3.2 (ICZN 1999a). We follow previous authors (e.g., Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 2009; Bousquet et al. 2015, 2018; Bouchard et al. 2021) and consider type-species designations in R. Lucas (1920) as potentially valid when a single species is listed under a particular genus-group name. Based on Recommendation 67B (ICZN 1999a), the name of each type species is cited by its original binomen and, when this is currently considered invalid, its valid synonym is given in parentheses (preceded by “=”). Also note that the type species (and fixation) for a new replacement name is the same as for the previously established name it replaces (ICZN 1999a, Article 67.8). Fossil taxa are indicated by the symbol “†”.
While the correct identification of a type genus is assumed when an author establishes a new nominal family-group taxon (ICZN 1999a, Articles 65.1), evidence suggests that in some cases the type genus was misidentified (i.e., interpreted in a sense other than that defined by its type species). The cases where these family-group names are not currently used as valid (summarized in Table 1) are likely to cause instability and confusion and therefore need to be referred to the Commission for a ruling (ICZN 1999a, Articles 65.2.1). For this reason, names in Table 1 are not included elsewhere in this work (for additional information see appendix 2 and appendix 3 in Bouchard et al. 2011, Bouchard and Bousquet 2020a). We follow Evenhuis (2023: 3) in using the Nomenclator Zoologicus (e.g., Neave 1939, 1940) as a potential source of First Reviser actions when more than one spelling was used to establish a new genus-group name.
Classification
The classification presented in Appendix 1 (down to the rank of subfamily) is based on the studies of Cai et al. (2022) unless stated otherwise. The synoptic classification in Bouchard et al. (2011) was used as the starting point for the classification of beetles below the rank of subfamily. While we tried to use the most up-to-date information to generate the classification of all beetles presented in Appendix 1, we realize that errors may remain and that there are often different points of view in the community regarding how taxa should be classified. We nevertheless hope that the information thus presented will adequately assist the retrieval of relevant information for the readers. We included type genera of all available family-group names known to us, up to the date of publication of this article; however, we also included the type genus of a small number of family-group names that were published after 2011 in an electronic-only work that failed to meet the criteria of availability as required in amendments of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 2012f; henceforth “Code”). In these cases, the family-group name and its associated genus are included to highlight the generally unknown nomenclatural problems. The stem we include under each family-group name and use in Appendix 1 is the stem that we recommend to be used in order to provide greatest stability of the Coleoptera classification (see Bouchard et al. 2011, Bouchard and Bousquet 2020a). The spelling of an incorrectly formed stem is sometimes maintained following recommendations in Article 29 (ICZN 1999a).
It should be noted that a disproportionally large number of new family-group names have been proposed in recent years in the superfamily CURCULIONOIDEA Latreille, 1802 by a small number of individuals (e.g., Legalov, Poinar). While these taxa are included here for completeness, some were evidently proposed without adequate comparative morphological analysis (e.g., Oberprieler and Zimmerman 2020: 556–558; Wanat 2021: 54) and their validity remains to be tested in a phylogenetic framework. The recent proliferation of new family-group names, combined with the challenging diversity of the group, has unfortunately resulted in an unsatisfactory weevil classification that still requires much attention before a stable and globally accepted system can be agreed upon.
Excluded family-group names and their associated type genera
COLEOCATINIIDAE Ponomarenko & Prokin (2016): as pointed out by Bouchard and Bousquet (2020a: 70), this family-group name is unavailable since it was not based on an available genus-group name (ICZN 1999a, Article 11.7.1.1).
DONACOCIADAEGistel (1856): this name, which was listed as available by Bouchard et al. (2011: 509), is based on Donacocia used by Gistel (1856: 377), which we consider to be an incorrect subsequent spelling of Donacia Fabricius, 1775. Consequently, the family-group name must be corrected (ICZN 1999a, Article 35.4.1) to DONACIADAE (see entry below under the type genus Donacia Fabricius, 1775).
PHILHYDRIDA J.E. LeConte (1849): the informal name Philhydrida, which was not based on an available type genus, was first coined by W.S. MacLeay (1825: 6). J.E. LeConte (1849: 27) was the first to include the genus-group name Philydrus Solier, 1834 under the name Philhydrida; however, we believe that he did not propose a new family-group name but rather used W.S. MacLeay’s informal name. Therefore, we do not treat Philhydrida, as used by J.E. LeConte (1849), as an available family- group name as previously done by Bouchard et al. (2011: 155).
RHYTIDORHINIDESWollaston (1865): this name was listed as available by Bouchard et al. (2011: 603); however, it is based on Rhytidorhinus Agassiz, 1846, an unjustified emendation of Rhythirrinus Schönherr, 1823, and as such must be corrected (ICZN 1999a, Article 35.4.1) to RHYTHIRRINIDAE (see entry below under the type genus Rhythirrinus Schönherr, 1823). Rhytidorhinus Wollaston, 1864, incorrectly given as the type genus of RHYTIDORHINIDES Wollaston by Bouchard et al. (2011: 603), is an unavailable genus-group name not homonymous with Rhytidorhinus Agassiz, 1846.

White, R.E. White, A. Winkler, J.R. Winkler, Q. Yang, X.-K. Yang, F.N. Young, R.M. Young, H. Zhang, P. Zhang, W. Zhang, A. Zimmermann, C. Zimmermann. We follow Bouchard et al. (2021: 8) and use the surname “Fischer” for G. Fischer’s works up to the end of 1832 and “Fischer von Waldheim” starting from 1833, which is the year he became a member of the Russian nobility. Similarly, we use “Semenov” for works published by this author up to the end of 1906 and “Semenov-Tjan-Shansky” for works published after 1906 in order to account for the honorary title “Tjan-Schansky” added by the Emperor of All Russia Nikolay II to the surname of A.P. Semenov’s father (and all his family members) in 1906 (e.g., see Chigray et al. 2022: 4).
Publication dates
Because of the importance of the Principle of Priority in zoological nomenclature (ICZN 1999a, Article 23), we have tried to establish the date of publication of works listed herein as accurately as possible. In the References section, publication dates are listed after each reference in square brackets “ []” and preceded by DP (i.e., Date of Publication). These dates are either specific dates of publication (e.g., extracted from the works themselves or the journal wrappers, title pages, footers) or are the earliest known publication dates (e.g., extracted from recording journals or accounts of society meetings). In the latter case, the date is preceded by the word “by.”
For the Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, we originally compiled the dates on which the signatures were printed; however, following Poggi (2010: 48–49, 79–228), the publication date is that printed on the reprint, which is the date on which the compiled signatures were sent to the authors for distribution [although Poggi occasionally gave a reprint date earlier than the date of the last signature in the paper, in which case we cite the signature date]. The volume numbers listed in the articles published in this journal are for the entire sequence of volumes, ignoring the “Series” numbers.
Although we found it difficult to determine the date of publication for many Russian journals and books, we have often cited the date on which the article was “approved to print”, that is the date posted by the censor (“podpisano k pechati”), usually inside the front or back wrapper, or on the endleaf. With few exceptions, this date indicates the earliest possible date of publication, and the works were apparently usually published shortly thereafter (see Technical Translations 15 (12): Doklady Biological Sciences 154–156: B-5). All Julian dates for Russian publications have been converted to Gregorian dates.

Availability and date of publication of electronic works published after 2011
We established the availability of electronic works published after 2011 that contained new names or new nomenclatural acts following the recommendations outlined in amendments to the Code (ICZN 2012f). Based on these requirements, electronic works are available when: 1) simultaneously obtainable copies of the work with fixed content and layout are widely accessible (Art. 8.1), and are not disclaimed (Arts 8.2, 8.3); 2) the work itself contains a date of publication (Art. 8.5.2); 3) the work was registered in ZooBank before it was published and contains evidence of such registration (Art. 8.5.3); 4) the ZooBank record indicates an intended online archive (Art. 8.5.3.1); and 5) the ZooBank record includes an ISSN/ISBN (Art. 8.5.3.2).
In many cases, works published after 2011 were issued electronically first and then in print later. According to Article 21.9 (ICZN 2012f) the “name or nomenclatural act published in a work issued in both print and electronic editions takes its date of publication from the edition that first fulfilled the criteria of publication of Article 8 and is not excluded by Article 9.” As recommended by Krell (2015), we use the final page numbers, since they are better finding aids, when pagination in an available electronic work differs from the pagination of the same work subsequently assigned to a particular journal issue. We report the first date of publication we could find for cited works published after 2011 that do not contain new names or new nomenclatural acts.
The following works, which were issued and distributed electronically only, are unavailable because they failed to meet one or more of the criteria of availability published in ICZN (2012f): Legalov (2017a, 2018c, but see Legalov 2023c), Kirejtshuk (2020), Rosa et al. (2020a, but see Rosa et al. 2020b), Szawaryn et al. (2020) and Motyka et al. (2023a). The new names and nomenclatural acts included in those works are therefore nomenclaturally unavailable. In order to promote stability (since the majority of the zoological community may not be aware of these facts), such unavailable names and acts are included in this work but preceded by an asterisk “*”. The Commission is currently exploring potential solutions to address the growing problem with new names and acts proposed only in electronic works since 2012 and that are not Code compliant (T. Pape, pers. comm. to P.B., 2022).
Dates of publication for Bonvouloir’s ‘Monographie de la famille des eucnémides’ (1871–1875)
Bousquet (2016: 87) gave the dates “1871–1875” for this publication since he could find no evidence that the plates were issued in 1870, in spite of the fact that they all have the inscription “Tome X. 2e Partie (1870)”. Bonvouloir submitted the 42 plates and a preliminary version of the text to the Société Entomologique de France on 23.III.1870 (Bull Soc Ent Fr 1870: xvii), with the hope of having them published in Tome X. On 13.IV.1870 the Commission de Publication agreed to print the plates “au nombre ordinaire de notre tirage des Annales” (Bull Soc Ent Fr 1870: xxv–xxvi), but this apparently did not happen, since no collection of the plates was ever recorded with the Annales for 1870 or anywhere else, in spite of the fact that they were to be distributed “gratuitement à nos membres ainsi qu’aux diverses sociétés savantes”. Bonvouloir was the ‘Archiviste-Bibliothécaire’ for the Société at the time, so one would expect that if they were available in 1870, they would have been entered into the Bibliothèque at least in 1871 (the first notice of copies being available, as cahiers). The dates recorded in the Bulletin Bibliographique (see References) were very specific as to the number of pages and plates in each cahier, as well as to the “dates de parution”. Likewise, the text was not published “en deux fascicules: l’un publié dans le courant de 1870 et l’autre au commencement de 1871” as originally agreed. In fact, Bonvouloir made additions and changes to the text long after the original was submitted, citing (p. 765) a paper published at the end of 1871. Evidently he sent Gemminger a preliminary list of the new names and plates in 1869 because they were listed (as “Monogr. Bonvouloir. Ann. Fr. 1870” or “Bonv. Mon.”) with their provenances, in the Catalogue by Gemminger and Harold (1869b), but the page numbers were never cited, only the prospective plate and figure numbers for those illustrated, and some of the figures from this list were changed in the actual publication (e.g., Microrhaguspavidus “Bonv. Mon. t. 27 f. 2” was replaced with M.inconsultus, pl. 27 fig. 2; Nematodesbuqueti (pl. 33 fig. 1) was not listed; Cephalodendronmozambicanum “Bonv. Mon. t. 36. f. 1” was changed to C.indigaceum var., etc.). Similarly, Gemminger included names published by Baudi the following year (1870), without page numbers. In the Nécrologie for Bonvouloir (Bull Soc Ent Fr 1914: 407) it was noted that the Monographie was issued “en 4 fascicules publiés de 1871 à 1875”, with no mention of a separate edition of the plates. We follow Muona (1987: 79–92) who, in his review of the generic names of Eucnemidae, did not include the plates as a separate publication, but cited species and genera from the plates as issued in the cahiers as 1871–1875.

Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Crotch (1870b: 227), who selected Anthribusnebulosus Forster, 1770 (see Bradley 1946: 97, 98), but that species is currently included in the genus Anthribus Geoffroy, 1762; Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 8, 23) mentioned that they would submit an application to the Commission to fix this problem but to our knowledge this has not been done, and an application is still necessary to fix Bruchusrobiniae Fabricius, 1781 as the type species of Amblycerus Thunberg, 1815.

Type species [suggested]: Amphisternustuberculatus Germar, 1843, by subsequent designation (R. Lucas 1920: 91). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Guérin-Méneville (1857: 579), who selected Amphisternusinaequalis Germar, 1843, but that species is currently included in the genus Cacodaemon J.

Amymoma Pascoe, 1866c: 329, 332. Current status: valid genus stat. nov. in CERAMBYCIDAE: LAMIINAE: DESMIPHORINI. Note: this name has been considered a junior homonym of Amymoma Latreille, 1797 [Crustacea] but Latreille’s name is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Amymone O.F. Müller, 1776 as noted by Neave (1939: 168) not in prevailing usage, and therefore the name is not available; the new replacement name Neoamymoma Marinoni, 1977 is therefore unnecessary.

Note: two original spellings were used, including Anaclyptus (p. 71); subsequently, Mulsant (1863: 184, 185) used only Anaglyptus and therefore acted as First Reviser (ICZN 1999a, Article 24.2.4).

Note: this family-group name is based on a misidentification of Arrenodes Schönherr, 1823 by Lacordaire (1865: 429), which corresponds to the genus Estenorhinus Lacordaire, 1865; Alonso- Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 78) mentioned that they would apply to the Commission for the conservation of this tribe by designating Arrenodes Schönherr, 1823 as its type genus; meanwhile current usage is maintained.
Arrhipis Gemminger in Gemminger and Harold, 1869b: 1477. Current status: invalid senior synonym of Nematodinus Lea, 1919 in EUCNEMIDAE: MELASINAE: DIRHAGINI. Note: junior homonym of Arrhipis Agassiz, 1846 [Pisces]; this genus-group name is usually credited to Bonvouloir, 1871 but it was first made available by Gemminger in 1869 when he associated two available species with the name; Arrhipis Gemminger is currently recognized as a valid genus but since it is a junior homonym, Nematodinus Lea, 1919, stat. nov. is used as valid instead.

Ateuchus Weber, 1801: 10. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE: ATEUCHINI: ATEUCHINA. Note: this genus was described twice in the same year by Weber (1801: 10) and Fabricius (1801a: 54); bibliographic research suggests that Weber’s book (issued by March 1801, see Evenhuis 1997b: 809) was published before the first volume of Fabricius’ ‘Systema Eleutheratorum’ (issued by 26 April 1801, see Bousquet 2017a: 108; see also Chapin 1946: 79).
Type species: Ateuchushisteroides Weber, 1801, by monotypy.
Family-group name: ATEUCHIDAE Perty, 1830. Stem: Ateuch-. Note: Perty (1830: 38) did not provide the author to the genus Ateuchus; it is assumed here that he referred to Ateuchus Weber, not Ateuchus Fabricius.

Type species: Aleocharagraminicola Gravenhorst, 1806, by subsequent monotypy (see ICZN 1961b). Note: although the Commission (ICZN 1961b: 241) mentioned that the type species was designated by monotypy, this is incorrect since there is no species associated with the name Atheta in C.G. Thomson (1858: 36); Aleocharagraminicola Gravenhorst was fixed as the type species by subsequent monotypy in C.G. Thomson (1859: 39); the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology needs to be updated to reflect the changes for the fixation of the type species mentioned above.

Type species: Silphaevanescens Marsham, 1802 (= Dermestespusillus Paykull, 1798), by subsequent designation (Partington 1834: 244). Note: the earliest type species designation previously known for this genus was Dermestesnigripennis Paykull, 1798 (= Latridiusnigripennis Kugelann, 1794), as designated subsequently by Westwood (1838c: 14) (e.g., C. Johnson 2007a: 65, Otero and Pereira Martínez 2022: 3), but Partington’s fixation is older; Silphaevanescens Marsham, 1802, which was later nominally placed in the genus Ptenidium Erichson, 1845 in the family PTILIIDAE (e.g., Matthews 1872: 80) is actually a junior synonym of Atomariapusilla (Paykull, 1798) (see Gemminger and von Harold 1868c: 890; Ganglbauer 1899: 303); the synonymy of the type species has been confirmed by examination of type photographs (M.L. Gimmel, pers. comm. to P.B., 2023); this change of type species will result in the subgenus previously known under the name Anchicera C.G. Thomson, 1863 changing to Atomaria Stephens, 1829 and the subgenus previously known under the name Atomaria Stephens, 1829 changing to Agathengis Gozis, 1886 (M.L. Gimmel, pers. comm. to P.B., 2023).

Callichroma Latreille, 1816: 341. Current status: valid genus in CERAMBYCIDAE: CERAMBYCINAE: CALLICHROMATINI.
Type species [suggested]: Cerambyxsuturalis Fabricius, 1781 (= Cerambyxauricomus Linnaeus, 1767), by subsequent designation (E. Desmarest 1860: 315). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Audouin (1823: 52), who selected Cerambyxalpinus Linnaeus, 1758, but that species is the type species of the genus Rosalia Audinet- Serville, 1834; a subsequent designation based on an originally included nominal species is that of G.R. Waterhouse (1840: 228), who selected Cerambyxmoschatus Linnaeus, 1758, but that species is the type species of the genus Aromia Audinet- Serville, 1834; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Cerambyxsuturalis Fabricius, 1781 as the type species of Callichroma Latreille, 1816 to conserve current usage (e.g., Monné and Nearns 2022: 16).

Müller & Kunze, 1822; it is available from that date since it was treated as an available name before 1961 by several authors (e.g., Casey 1897: 500; Ganglbauer 1899: 11).
Type species: Scydmaenusthoracicus P.W.J. Müller & Kunze, 1822, by subsequent designation (E. Desmarest 1852: 148). Note: the type species usually listed for this genus is “Cephenniumtruncorum P.W.J. Müller, 1822 (= Scydmaenusthoracicus P.W.J. Müller & Kunze, 1822)”; however, Cephenniumtruncorum was first proposed by P.W.J. Müller in P.W.J. Müller and Kunze (1822: 188) in synonymy with Scydmaenusthoracicus P.W.J. Müller & Kunze, 1822 but, as far as we know, it is unavailable since it was not treated as an available name before 1961 and either adopted as the name of a taxon or treated as a senior homonym (ICZN 1999a, Article 11.6.1); the first available species associated with the name Cephennium are the three species, Scydmaenusthoracicus P.W.J. Müller & Kunze, 1822, Scydmaenuslaticollis Aubé, 1843, and Scydmaenusminutissimus Aubé, 1843, listed by Erichson (1845b: 99).

Chasmatopterus Dejean, 1821: 60. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: MELOLONTHINAE: CHASMATOPTERINI.
Type species: Melolonthavillosula Illiger, 1803, by subsequent designation (Blanchard in Audouin et al. 1843: pl. 44). Note: the type species usually listed for this genus is Melolonthahirtula Illiger, 1803 (e.g., Branco 2007: 9; Branco and A. Bezdĕk 2016: 211) by subsequent designation of Baraud (1965: 264) but Blanchard’s type fixation is earlier; both nominal species are currently placed in the genus Chasmatopterus.

Type species: Cantharisbimaculata Fabricius, 1781 (= Telephoruspensylvanicus DeGeer, 1774), by subsequent designation (Calder 1998: 186). Note: Calder (1998: 186) selected Telephoruspensylvanicus DeGeer, 1774 as type species, which is not an originally included species, but since he listed it in synonymy with Cantharisbimaculata Fabricius, 1881, an originally included species, he is deemed to have designated the latter species as type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2); Fanti (2019: 29) remarked that Telephoruspensylvanicus DeGeer, 1774 is a junior synonym of Cantharisamericana Forster, 1771, as noted already by some early authors, such as J.L. LeConte (1851b: 338); an application to the Commission is necessary to conserve usage of the well-known name Chauliognathuspensylvanicus (DeGeer, 1774).

Type species [suggested]: Carabusfestivus Panzer, 1796, by subsequent designation (Madge 1975: 581). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Bonelli (1810); the first ones were the five species listed by Panzer (1813: 55, 56); the valid type species fixation is that of Hope (1838a: 75), who selected Carabusspoliatus Rossi, 1792, but that species is currently included in the subgenus Chlaenites Motschulsky, 1860, not in the nominotypical subgenus; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Carabusfestivus Panzer, 1796 as the type species of Chlaenius Bonelli, 1810.

Type species [suggested]: Chlamysfoveolata Knoch, 1801, by subsequent designation (Navajas 1946: 244). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of S.H. Chen (1940: 191), who selected Chlamystuberosa Knoch, 1801 (as “Bruchusgibbosus F. (= Chlamystuberosa Kn.)”), one of the two originally included species (see ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2); however, this type species is a junior synonym of Bruchusgibbosus Fabricius, 1777 (now in Neochlamisus Karren, 1972; see C. Shin et al. 2012: 120); an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Chlamysfoveolata Knoch, 1801 as the type species of Chlamys Knoch, 1801 in order to conserve the concept for this type genus and its new replacement name.

Coelopterus Mulsant & Rey, 1853c: 89. Current status: valid genus in COCCINELLIDAE: COCCINELLINAE: STICHOLOTIDINI. Note: this genus is often attributed to Mulsant & Rey, 1852 (p. 224); however, that version of the article (in the ‘Mémoires de l’Académie Nationale des Sciences…’) was evidently not published until after the version in the ‘Opuscules Entomologiques’, in 1853 (see Reference 1853c cited above).
Type species: Coelopterussalinus Mulsant & Rey, 1853, by monotypy.
Family-group name: COELOPTERINI Weise, 1906. Stem: Coelopter-.
Coelorrhina Hope, 1841b: 302. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: CETONIINAE: GOLIATHINI: RHOMBORHININA. Note: the original spelling was Caelorrhina but Coelorrhina, an incorrect subsequent spelling, is in prevailing usage, attributed to the publication of the original spelling, and therefore deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).

Colaphus Dejean, 1836a: 411. Current status: junior synonym of Colaspidema Laporte, 1833 in CHRYSOMELIDAE: CHRYSOMELINAE: CHRYSOMELINI. Note: unnecessary new replacement name for Colaspidema Laporte, 1833; Colaphus has been attributed to L. Redtenbacher (1845: 116) in the literature and considered a junior homonym of Colaphus Dejean, 1836; however, both names apply to the same taxon; the earlier usage of the name Colaphus by Dahl (1823: 46) was suppressed for the purposes of zoological nomenclature (see ICZN 1964).
Type species: Colaspisbarbara Fabricius, 1801, by monotypy (type fixation for Colaspidema Laporte).

Type species: Colaspislimbata G.-A. Olivier, 1808, by subsequent designation (Baly 1864c: 134). Note: Moseyko and Sprecher-Uebersax (2010b: 632) listed Cryptocephaluslimbatus Fabricius, 1781 as type species of this genus; however, Baly (1864c: 134) designated “Colaspoideslimbata, Oliv.” as type species, an originally included species, and there is no reference to Cryptocephaluslimbatus Fabricius, 1781 in G.-A. Olivier’s text; the species described by G.-A. Olivier and Fabricius are both from Cayenne and whether or not they are synonymous has yet to be documented.

Note: Kirejtshuk (2020: 10) proposed the emendation COLEOPSEIDAE for this family-group name but the work is nomenclaturally unavailable (ICZN 2012f, Article 8.5.3.1) and, consequently, the emendation is unavailable as well.

Colobodera Klug, 1837: 53. Current status: senior synonym of Daemon Laporte, 1838 in PTILODACTYLIDAE: ANCHYTARSINAE. Note: this name is considered a junior synonym of Daemon Laporte, 1838 (a name usually incorrectly listed as published in 1836); an application to the Commission is needed to retain Daemon Laporte, 1838 as the valid name for this genus.

Colobothea Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825: 336. Current status: valid genus in CERAMBYCIDAE: LAMIINAE: COLOBOTHEINI. Note: the original spelling was Colobotea but Colobothea, an incorrect subsequent spelling, is in prevailing usage, attributed to the publication of the original spelling, and therefore deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).
Type species: Saperdacassandra Dalman, 1823, by subsequent designation (Duponchel 1843b: 120).

Colon Herbst, 1797: 224. Current status: valid genus in COLONIDAE. Note: the original spelling Kolon was changed to Colon and Colon Herbst, 1797 placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995c).
Type species [suggested]: Colonviennense Herbst, 1797, by subsequent designation (C.G. Thomson 1859: 60; see ICZN 1995c, as Kolonviennensis). Note: name placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995c); an earlier type species designation is that of Colonclavigerum Herbst, 1797 (as “Colonclaviger Herbst”) by Duponchel (1843b: 124); since the ruling by the ICZN (1995c) did not include a statement such as “all type species designations for prior to that of C.G. Thomson (1859) are hereby set aside”, Duponchel’s designation should be considered the valid type species fixation; however, Colonclavigerum is not currently classified in the nominotypical subgenus and using it would cause instability; an application should be submitted to the Commission to maintain Colonviennense Herbst, 1797 as the type species and dismiss Duponchel’s and any other type species designations before that of C.G. Thomson (1859: 60).

Compsocnemis Bonvouloir, 1871: 72 [in key]. Current status: valid genus in EUCNEMIDAE: MELASINAE: MELASINI: COMPSOCNEMINA. Note: this name was first used by Gemminger in Gemminger and von Harold (1869b: 1479) but is unavailable from that date as the three species listed under the name were nomina nuda; the relevant plate of Bonvouloir’s work on EUCNEMIDAE referred to by Gemminger was not issued until 1872 (1872b).
Type species: Compsocnemismaculata Bonvouloir, 1872, by subsequent designation (Muona 1987: 82). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Bonvouloir (1871); the first ones were the species illustrated by Bonvouloir (1872b: plate 33).

Type species: Chrysomelacyanea Fabricius, 1792, by original designation. Note: the type species listed by Hope (1841a: 162) is “E[umolpus]. Cyaneus, Fabricius” and Fabricius (1801a: 419) referred this name to his Chrysomelacyanea Fabricius, 1792 described from “America meridionali”; it seems that the locality listed by Fabricius (1792a: 324; 1801a: 419) could be erroneous as G.-A. Olivier (1808: 900) recorded the species from “Bengale”, more research is needed to ascertain all the facts; the type species usually listed for this genus is Eumolpuscompressicornis Fabricius, 1801 described from Guinea (e.g., Jacoby 1908: 492; Moseyko and Sprecher-Uebersax 2010b: 633).

Cosnania Dejean, 1821: 2. Current status: valid subgenus of Colliuris DeGeer, 1774 in CARABIDAE: HARPALINAE: ODACANTHINI. Note: this name was used in the literature for a long time under the spelling Casnonia and attributed to Latreille in Latreille and Dejean (1824: 130) or Dejean (1825: 170) but the name was first made available by Dejean (1821) under the spelling Cosnania, which is currently in prevailing usage; this name is a junior objective synonym of Macrotrachelus Latreille, 1818 (see Bousquet 2002: 30), which was not used as valid after 1899 to our knowledge; however, we are unable to provide 25 references to conserve usage of Cosnania (or the variant spelling Casnonia) as the valid name (ICZN 1999a, Article 23.9.1.2); nevertheless we believe that Cosnania Dejean, 1821 should be retained as the valid name and the case submitted to the Commission for a ruling.

Type species [suggested]: Dermestessanguinicollis Fabricius, 1787, by subsequent designation (J.R. Winkler 1979: 311). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Schäffer (1777); the first ones were the two species listed by Herbst (1783: 40), Dermestoidesunipunctatus Herbst, 1783 (= Dermesteslinearis Goeze, 1777) and Dermestoidesbipunctatus Herbst, 1783 (possibly a senior synonym of Rhizophagusbipunctatus Herbst, 1793); acceptance of either of these two as type species of Dermestoides will threaten the status of this type genus since the former is now included in Lyctus Fabricius, 1792 (BOSTRICHIDAE) and the latter possibly in MONOTOMIDAE (more research is needed to ascertain the identity of Dermestoidesbipunctatus Herbst, 1783); an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Dermestessanguinicollis Fabricius, 1787 as the type species of Dermestoides Schäffer, 1777 in order to conserve its currently accepted concept.

Dicrochile Guérin-Méneville, 1847: ciii. Current status: valid genus in CARABIDAE: HARPALINAE: LICININI: DICROCHILINA. Note: this genus was first described without nominal species by Guérin-Méneville (1846: 428) under the spelling Dicronochilus; the spelling Dicrochile, which is in prevailing usage, is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Dicronochilus but since Dicrochile is not attributed to the publication of the original spelling, Article 33.3.1 (ICZN 1999a) cannot be used; an application to the Commission is necessary to conserve the currently used spelling Dicrochile.

(1842: pl. 32). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Westwood (1838c: 27), who selected Pyrochroaminuta Fabricius, 1787, but that species is the type species of Platycis C.G. Thomson, 1859; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Pyrochroaaurora Herbst, 1784 as the type species of Dictyoptera Latreille, 1829.

Note: Ditylushelopioides Fischer is often listed as type species of this genus (e.g., Švihla 2008: 361; Kubisz and Iwan 2020: 487) but that species was not described until 1821 [November] (not in 1817 as noted, but after Dejean (1821 [May])) and therefore is not an originally included species.

Type species: Dolocerusreichii Mulsant, 1863, by monotypy.
Family-group name: DOLOCERINI Özdikmen in Albayati et al., 2016: 665. Stem: Dolocer-. Note: Özdikmen in Albayati et al. (2016: 665) proposed DOLOCERINI as a replacement for BRACHYPTEROMINI Sama, 2008 because the type genus of the latter name, Brachypteroma Heyden, 1863, was considered a junior synonym of Dolocerus Mulsant, 1863; however, Heyden’s Brachypteroma was published in June 1863 while Mulsant’s name was issued late in 1863 as it was recorded on 4 January 1864 by the ‘Bibliographie de la France’ (Bousquet 2016: 377); also, such nomenclatural action is contrary to Article 40.1 (ICZN 1999a), which states that when the name of a type genus of a nominal family-group taxon is considered to be a junior synonym of the name of another nominal genus, the family-group name is not to be replaced on that account alone.

Dorcadion Dalman in Schönherr, 1817: 397. Current status: valid genus in CERAMBYCIDAE: LAMIINAE: DORCADIONINI.
Type species [suggested]: Cerambyxglicyrrhizae Pallas, 1773, by subsequent designation (J. Thomson 1864: 43). Note: as pointed out by Bousquet (2008a: 619), the valid type species fixation is that of Blanchard in Audouin et al. (1841: pl. 68), who selected Cerambyxfuliginator Linnaeus, 1758, but that species is the type species of the genus Iberodorcadion Breuning, 1943; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Cerambyxglicyrrhizae Pallas, 1773 as the type species of Dorcadion Dalman, 1817 to conserve current usage (e.g., Danilevsky 2020: 337).
Family-group name: DORCADIONINAE Swainson, 1840. Stem: Dorcadion-.
Dorcadodium Gistel, 1856: 263, 406. Status: senior synonym of the subgenus Carinatodorcadion Breuning, 1943 of the genus Dorcadion Dalman, 1817 in CERAMBYCIDAE: LAMIINAE: DORCADIONINI. Note: two spellings were originally used for this new taxon, including Dorcadodion (pp. 293, 296, 470); we act as First Revisers and selected Dorcadodium as the correct original spelling; some authors (e.g., Sama 2002: 88, Özdikmen 2012: 56) treat Dorcadodium Gistel, 1856 as a nomen oblitum, however, they did not specifically give evidence that the conditions of Article 23.9.1.2 were met (see such requirement in Article 23.9.2, ICZN 1999a); an application to the Commission is necessary to maintain Carinatodorcadion Breuning, 1943 as valid.

Family-group name: DRAPETINI J.L. LeConte, 1863. Stem: Drapet-. Note: the name DRAPETINI Collin, 1961 (type genus Drapetis Meigen, 1822) in Diptera has been used with the correct stem (as DRAPETIDINI) in recent literature (e.g., Sinclair et al. 2022).
Drasterius Eschscholtz, 1829a: 33. Current status: valid genus in ELATERIDAE: AGRYPNINAE: OOPHORINI. Note: name placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1987b).
Type species: Elaterbimaculatus Rossi, 1790, by subsequent designation (Curtis 1838a: 694, see Sánchez-Ruiz 1996: 48). Note: name placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1987b); the subsequent designation was attributed to Westwood (1838c: 26) in ICZN (1987b); however, it was published later than the fixation by (Curtis 1838a: 694) and as a result, an application to the Commission is necessary to change the entry on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology.

Type species: Eucnemisbarnabita Comolli, 1837, by monotypy. Note: the author of the type species is usually given as “A. Villa & G.B. Villa” in the literature (e.g., Muona 2007: 86) because the name “Villa” is attached to the species’ name in Comolli (1837: 15); however, the contents of Comolli’s paper do not reveal that the brothers Villa were responsible for satisfying the criteria of availability (ICZN 1999a, Article 50.1.1).
Family-group name: DROMAEOLINI Beaulieu, 1919. Stem: Dromaeol-. Note: as pointed out by Bouchard and Bousquet (2020a: 87) the names FORNACINI Beaulieu, 1919 and DROMAEOLINI Beaulieu, 1919 take precedence over MACRAULACINAE/-INI Fleutiaux, 1923 and an application to the Commission is necessary to preserve usage of MACRAULACINAE/-INI as valid.

Type species: Epiphaniscornutus Eschscholtz, 1829, by monotypy.
Family-group name: EPIPHANINI Muona, 1993. Stem: Epiphan-. Note: junior homonym of EPIPHANIDAE Harring, 1913 (type genus Epiphanes Ehrenberg, 1832) in Rotifera.
Epiphloeus Spinola, 1841: 75. Current status: valid genus in CLERIDAE: KORYNETINAE.
Type species: Epiphloeuspantherinus Spinola, 1845, by subsequent designation (E. Desmarest 1852: 265). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Spinola (1841); the first ones were the six species listed by Spinola (1845b: 8, as Epiphlaeus).

Epipocus Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836a: 439. Current status: valid genus in ENDOMYCHIDAE: EPIPOCINAE.
Type species: Endomychusrufitarsis Chevrolat, 1835, by subsequent designation (R. Lucas 1920: 270). Note: the type species often reported for Epipocus is Endomychustibialis Guérin-Méneville, 1834 by subsequent designation of Strohecker (1953: 66) but R. Lucas’ typification is earlier; both species are currently placed in the genus Epipocus.

Epirinus Dejean, 1833b: 137. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE: EPIRININI.
Type species: Scarabaeusgranulatus G.-A. Olivier, 1789 (= Scarabaeusflagellatus Fabricius, 1775), by subsequent designation (M.C. Ferreira 1972: 136). Note: M.C. Ferreira (1972: 136) designated Scarabaeusflagellatus Fabricius, 1775 as type species, not an originally included species, but since she listed it in synonymy with Scarabaeusgranulatus G.-A. Olivier, 1789, a species originally included, she is deemed to have designated the latter species as type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2; see Daniel 2019: 64).

Epistrophus Kirsch, 1869: 200. Current status: valid genus in CURCULIONIDAE: MOLYTINAE: HYLOBIINI: EPISTROPHINA. Note: this taxon is a junior homonym of Epistrophus Gistel, 1834, which is a junior objective synonym of Drasterius Eschscholtz, 1829 [Coleoptera: ELATERIDAE]; Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 202) mentioned that an application would be submitted to the Commission for the suppression of Gistel’s name and recommended that current usage be maintained; an application to the Commission has yet to be submitted to fix this problem.

Erichsonia Westwood, 1849: 210. Current status: valid genus in CERAMBYCIDAE: PRIONINAE: PARANDRINI: ERICHSONIINA. Note: Erichsonia Dana, 1849 [Crustacea] was published in November 1849 while Erichsonia Westwood, 1849 was published on 5 November 1849 (G. Wheeler 1912: 754), therefore, Westwood’s name has priority.

Eriphus Audinet-Serville, 1834b: 88. Current status: valid genus in CERAMBYCIDAE: CERAMBYCINAE: TRACHYDERINI: TRACHYDERINA. Note: Santos-Silva et al. (2023: 3) treated this name as a nomen protectum over Eryphus Klug, 1829; however, they did not specifically give evidence that the conditions of Article 23.9.1.2 were met (see such requirement in Article 23.9.2, ICZN 1999a); Santos-Silva et al. (2023: 3) also mention that the name Eriphus was made available earlier by Audinet-Serville (1834a: 541); however, the name in the key used by Audinet-Serville (1834a: 541) was a French vernacular name and as such is not a scientific name in the sense of Article 1 (ICZN 1999a, also see Glossary therein).

Type species: Lixusattenuatus Fabricius, 1801, by original designation.
Family-group name: ERODISCIDES Lacordaire, 1863. Stem: Erodisc-. Note: this name is based on a misidentification of Erodiscus Schönherr, 1825 by Lacordaire (1863: 567) since Lacordaire excluded the type species of Erodiscus, placing it in Toxeutes Schönherr, 1843; Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 78) mentioned that they will apply to the Commission for the conservation of this tribe by designating Erodiscus Schönherr, 1825 as its type genus; meanwhile current usage is maintained.

Eubria Germar, 1818: 239. Current status: valid genus in PSEPHENIDAE: EUBRIINAE. Note: notwithstanding Löbl’s (2016: 32) statement, this name was first proposed as a junior synonym of Cyphon Paykull, 1799 and subsequently treated as the name of a valid taxon before 1961 by several authors, including Latreille (1829a: 462); therefore, it dates from its first publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999a, Article 11.6.1).
Type species: Cyphonpalustris Germar, 1818, by monotypy. Note: name placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 2011b).

Note: this name was first proposed by Voet (1806: 33) but it is not available because Voet’s work is not consistently binominal (ICZN 1999a, Article 11.4); the name was subsequently listed in synonymy by Crotch (1870b: 214) and considered as valid by Clavareau (1913: 222), therefore, the name Fulcidax is available and dates from its first publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999a, Article 11.6.1).
Type species: Clytramonstrosa Fabricius, 1798, by subsequent designation (Chamorro-Lacayo and Konstantinov 2009: 76). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Crotch (1870b); the first ones were the six species listed by Clavareau (1913: 223).

Type species [suggested]: Carabusproteus Paykull, 1790 (= Carabusaffinis Schrank, 1781), by subsequent designation (Andrewes 1935: 19). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Latreille (1810: 426), who selected Carabusruficornis Fabricius, 1775 (= Carabusrufipes DeGeer, 1774), but that species is currently included in the subgenus PseudoophonusMotschulsky, 1844, not the nominotypicalsubgenusofHarpalus Latreille; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Carabusproteus Paykull, 1790 as the type species of Harpalus Latreille, 1802; a first request was postponed (see ICZN 1950); Andrewes (1935: 19) designated Carabusaffinis Schrank, 1781 as type species of Harpalus, a species not originally included, but since he listed it at the same time as a synonym of Carabusproteus Paykull, 1790, a species originally included, he is deemed to have designated the latter species as type species (ICZN, 1999a, Article 69.2.2).

Type species [suggested]: Tenebriolusitanicus Herbst, 1797, by subsequent designation (Gebien 1938b: 304). Note: as noted by Bousquet and Bouchard (2013a: 46), Heliopates is a new replacement name for Heliophilus Dejean, 1821 and as such should have the same type species, Pedinushybridus Latreille, 1804 (= Tenebrioabbreviatus G.-A.

Heterochelus Burmeister, 1844: 87. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: MELOLONTHINAE: HOPLIINI: HOPLIINA.
Type species: to be determined. Note: Burmeister (1844) placed the 54 species of the genus Heterochelus in several informal groups and for one of the groups he designated Melolonthadentipes Fabricius, 1781 as the type on page 108; however, we do not consider that this represents a valid type species fixation for Heterochelus (also, Melolonthadentipes Fabricius, 1781 is the type species of Dichelus Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1828); as far as we know, no type species has been proposed for Heterochelus and we refrain from suggesting one since the taxonomy of the African Hopliini is in need of a thorough revision (H.

Type species: Coccinellamutabilis Scriba, 1791 (= Coccinellavariegata Goeze, 1777), by subsequent designation (Chevrolat 1845: 623). Note: Goeze’s (1777) work is not consistently binominal (see ICZN 2021a) and therefore an application to the Commission is necessary to retain Coccinellavariegata Goeze, 1777 as the valid name for the type species.

Type species: Hippopsislineolatus Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825, by subsequent designation (J. Thomson 1864: 97). Note: although Thomson (1864: 97) listed Saperdalemniscata Fabricius, 1801, not an originally included nominal species, as type species of Hippopsis, he listed “Hippopsislineolata [sic] Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville”, one of the two originally included species in Hippopsis, at the same time in synonymy with Saperdalemniscata, he is therefore deemed to have designed Hippopsislineolata Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville as type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2).

Luciola Laporte, 1833c: 146. Current status: valid genus in LAMPYRIDAE: LUCIOLINAE: LUCIOLINI.
Type species: to be determined. Note: the type species frequently listed for this genus (e.g., McDermott 1964: 43, Calder 1998: 178, Ballantyne et al. 2019: 87) is “Luciolapedemontana Bonelli” as designated subsequently by de Motschulsky (1853a: 53); however, “Luciolapedemontana Bonelli” (= Luciolapedemontana Curtis, 1846) was not an available name when originally included in Luciola by Laporte and cannot be selected as the type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 67.2.1); other authors (e.g., Fanti 2022a: 169) have used Cantharisitalica Linnaeus, 1758 as the type species of this genus, as designated by de Motschulsky (1853a: 53); however, Motschulsky clearly selected the unavailable name “Luciolapedemontana Bonelli” as the type of Luciola; E. Desmarest (1860: 14) subsequently designated “Luciolaitalica Fab.” as the type species for Luciola; however, the species selected by E. Desmarest is a misidentification (Cantharisitalica Linnaeus, 1758 sensu Fabricius, 1775 = Lampyrislusitanica Charpentier, 1825); accordingly, following the recommendations in Article 70.3 (ICZN 1999a), authors working on this issue will determine if the nominal species previously cited as the type by E. Desmarest or the taxonomic species actually involved should be fixed as the type species of Luciola Laporte (L. Ballantyne, pers. comm. to P.B., 2023).

Lycoprogenthes Pic, 1915b: 6. Current status: valid genus in LYCIDAE: METRIORRHYNCHINAE: LYCOPROGENTHINI. Note: the original spelling was Lycoprogentes but the incorrect subsequent spelling Lycoprogenthes is in prevailing usage, attributed to the original publication, and therefore is to be treated as the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).
Type species: Lycoprogenthespouilloni Pic, 1915, by monotypy.

Macraulacus Bonvouloir, 1871: 71. Current status: valid genus in EUCNEMIDAE: MACRAULACINAE: MACRAULACINI. Note: this name was first used by Gemminger in Gemminger and von Harold (1869b: 1474) but is unavailable from that date as the species listed under the name is a nomen nudum; Bonvouloir’s plate 25 referred to by Gemminger was not issued until 1872 (1872a), but before the species description (1872b: 509).
Type species: Macraulacusexcavatus Bonvouloir, 1872, by subsequent monotypy (Bonvouloir 1872b: 509).

Type species: Macrolycusbowringii C.O. Waterhouse, 1878, by monotypy. Note: two original spellings were used by C.O. Waterhouse (1878) for this species, M.coccineus (p. 96) and M.bowringii (p. 105); subsequently, C.O. Waterhouse (1880a: pl. I, fig. 1) used only M.bowringii and therefore acted as First Reviser (ICZN 1999a, Article 24.2.4).

Family-group name: MACROPODOIDAE Erichson, 1846. Stem: Macropod-. Note: the authorship of this family-group name was credited to “Agassiz” in Bouchard et al. (2011: 401) but here we follow Bouchard et al. (2021: 9) in crediting new nomenclatural acts in the fascicle on Coleoptera of Agassiz’ ‘Nomenclator Zoologicus’ to the beetle specialist W.F.

Type species [suggested]: Malthinusflavus Latreille, 1805 (= Cantharisflaveola Herbst, 1786), by subsequent designation (Hope 1841a: 141). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of J.E. Gray (1832: 723), who selected Malthinusmarginatus Latreille, 1805, but that species is currently placed in the genus Malthodes Kiesenwetter, 1852; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Malthinusflavus Latreille, 1805 as the type species of Malthinus Latreille, 1805.

Meligethes Stephens, 1829b: 7. Current status: valid genus in NITIDULIDAE: MELIGETHINAE.

Type species: to be determined. Note: Nitidulaatrata G.-A. Olivier, 1790 is sometimes listed as the type species of this genus (e.g., Jelínek and Audisio 2007: 478, Audisio et al. 2014: 19), but it is not an originally included species; Audisio et al. (2009: 456) used the following information for the type species of Meligethes “Nitidularufipes Marsham, 1802 (= Nitidulaatrata A. G. Olivier, 1790), by subsequent designation (C.G. Thomson 1859: 67)” but Marsham (1802: 130) did not propose a new species; instead he referred to Nitidularufipes Fabricius, 1775, which is considered a senior invalid synonym of Brassicogethesviridescens (Fabricius, 1787); the valid type species fixation for Meligethes is that of Westwood (1838c: 12), who selected Nitidulaviridescens Fabricius, 1787, but that species is currently included in the genus Brassicogethes Audisio & Cline, 2009; Hope (1841a: 154) subsequently selected Nitidularufipes Fabricius, 1775 as the type species of Meligethes; more research is needed to establish the necessary facts and determine the best possible solution, which may be to ask the Commission to fix Nitidulaatrata G.-A. Olivier, 1790 as the type species of Meligethes to conserve the current usage of the name.

Mesogenus Gemminger in Gemminger and Harold, 1869b: 1485. Current status: valid genus in EUCNEMIDAE: EUCNEMINAE: MESOGENINI.
Type species: Fornaxaustrocaledonicus Perroud & Montrouzier, 1865, by monotypy. Note: Since Mesogenus is credited to Bonvouloir’s work (1871–1875) on EUCNEMIDAE in the literature, the type species was considered to be Mesogenusmellyi Bonvouloir, 1871, by subsequent designation (Fleutiaux 1902: 651) (e.g., Calder 1998: 16); however, this genus-group name is available from Gemminger and Harold’s catalogue, with only one available species listed under it, F.austroacledonicus, which is therefore the type species by monotypy.

Type species [suggested]: Cerambyxcurculionoides Linnaeus, 1761, by subsequent designation (C.G. Thomson 1859: 153). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Westwood (1838c: 41), who selected Cerambyxnubilus Gmelin, 1789 (= Lamianebulosa Fabricius, 1781), but that species is currently in the subgenus Aplocnemia Stephens, 1831, not the nominotypical subgenus; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Cerambyxcurculionoides Linnaeus, 1761 as the type species of Mesosa Latreille, 1829.

Note: Trypopitysphoenicis Fairmaire, 1859 is often listed as the valid name for Ptilinuscylindricus Germar, 1817 (e.g., Zahradník 2007: 361) based on the belief that Germar’s name is a primary homonym of Ptilinuscylindricus O.F. Müller, 1776; however, O.F. Müller’s name was suppressed for both the Principles of Priority and Homonymy (ICZN 1994a) and therefore Ptilinuscylindricus Germar, 1817 can be used as the valid name for the type species.

Mimolibnetis Pic, 1936: 33 [suggested]. Current status: valid genus in LYCIDAE: DEXORINAE: MIMOLIBNETINI: MIMOLIBNETINA. Note: this name was first proposed by Pic (1936: 33) without a type species designation, a mandatory requirement for genus-group names proposed after 1930 (ICZN 1999a, Article 13.3) and it is therefore unavailable from that date; Kazantsev (2000: 12) designated Mimolibnetisapicalis Pic, 1936 as type species of the genus but since he did not indicate he was proposing a new taxon, a mandatory requirement for names published after 1999 (ICZN 1999a, Article 16.1), Mimolibnetis is also unavailable from that date; in order to promote stability, we believe that a request should be submitted to the Commission to accept Mimolibnetis Pic, 1936 as available, as well as the family-group name formed from it.
Type species [suggested]: Mimolibnetisapicalis Pic, 1936, by original designation.
Family-group name: MIMOLIBNETINAE Kazantsev, 2013a: 28. Stem: Mimolibnet-.

Type species [suggested]: Cistelaflavipes Fabricius, 1792, by subsequent designation (C.G. Thomson 1859: 118; typification for Mycetophila Gyllenhal). Note: there are three earlier type species designations based on an originally included nominal species that threaten the stability of this genus: Guérin-Méneville (1827: 346), who selected Cistelahumeralis Fabricius, 1787, Stephens (1832c: 375), who selected Cistelalinearis Illiger, 1794 (= Cistelamaura Fabricius, 1792) for Mycetocharis Gyllenhal, 1827 (another new replacement name for Mycetophila Gyllenhal, 1810), and Westwood (1838c: 32), who selected Cistelascapularis Illiger, 1805 (= Cistelahumeralis Fabricius, 1787) for Mycetochara (as Mycetocharus); all these species are currently placed in the subgenus Ernocharis C.G. Thomson, 1859, not the nominotypical subgenus; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Cistelaflavipes Fabricius, 1792 as the type species of Mycetophila Gyllenhal, 1810, for which Mycetochara Guérin-Méneville, 1827 is a new replacement name.

Mylabris Fabricius, 1775: 261. Current status: valid genus in MELOIDAE: MELOINAE: MYLABRINI. Note: the senior homonym MylabrisGeoffroy (1762: 163) was suppressed for both Principles of Priority and Homonymy and placed on the Official Index of Generic Names in Zoology while Mylabris Fabricius, 1775 was placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995b).
Type species: Meloecichorii Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation (Latreille 1810: 430; see ICZN 1995b). Note: Meloecichorii Linnaeus, 1758 was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995b); currently, that species is placed in the genus Hycleus Latreille, 1817 (Bologna 2020: 523); the Linnean syntypes consist of two species, one corresponding to Hycleuschicorii (Linnaeus, 1758) and the second to Mylabrisvariabilis (Pallas, 1781); a lectotype needs to be designated in order to clarify the application of the name Meloecichorii Linnaeus, 1758 (see Löbl 2008a: 45).

Myzia Mulsant, 1846: 129. Current status: valid genus in COCCINELLIDAE: COCCINELLINAE: COCCINELLINI. Note: as pointed out by Bouchard and Bousquet (2020a: 95–96) two original spellings were used, Mysia (p. 129) and Myzia (p. 277); subsequently, Mulsant (1850: 137) used the spelling Mysia and therefore acted as First Reviser (Article 24.2.4). Mysia is therefore the correct original spelling but this name is a junior homonym of Mysia Lamarck, 1818 [Mollusca]; Myzia, an incorrect original spelling, has been used as valid in the literature and is in prevailing usage; an application to the Commission is necessary to retain Myzia Mulsant, 1846 as a valid name.
Type species: Coccinellaoblongoguttata Linnaeus, 1758, by monotypy.
Family-group name: MYSIINA Hatch, 1962: 175. Stem: Myzi-. Note: a family-group name based on this type genus was attributed to Mulsant, 1846 (as MYSIATES) and treated as unavailable by Bouchard et al. (2011: 376).

Type species: Curculiolythri Fabricius, 1787 (= Curculiomarmoratus Goeze, 1777), by original designation (see ICZN 1989a) (type fixation for Nanodes Schönherr). Note: Curculiomarmoratus Goeze, 1777, which has been published in a work that is not consistently binominal, was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1989a).

Type species: Natalislaplacei Laporte, 1838, by monotypy.
Family-group name: NATALIINI Bartlett, 2021: 750. Stem: Natali-. Note: the correct stem based on Natalis Laporte, a Latin adjective, is Natal- (M.A. Alonso-Zarazaga, pers. comm. to P.B., 2022); however, since using the correct stem would have led to the creation of a homonym with NATALIDAE Gray, 1866 (type genus Natalus Gray, 1838) in Chiroptera, we assume that Bartlett (2021: 750) used the stem Natalii- in order to avoid creating a homonymous family-group name (ICZN 1999a, Article 29.6).

Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Thon (1832b: 347), who selected Scarabaeusbrunneus Linnaeus, 1758, but that nominal species is currently the type species of the genus Serica W.S. MacLeay, 1819; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Melolontharuricola Fabricius, 1775 as the type species of Omaloplia Schönherr, 1817.

Omocerus Chevrolat, 1835c: no 119. Current status: valid genus in CHRYSOMELIDAE: CASSIDINAE: OMOCERINI. Note: the spelling Omocerus was changed to Omocera in the corrections ([p. 7] at the end of the work) issued in the same volume; therefore, the correct original spelling is Omocera but Omocerus, an incorrect subsequent spelling used subsequently by several authors, is in prevailing usage, attributed to the publication of the original spelling, and therefore deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).

Note: the original spelling was Oncyderes but Oncideres, an incorrect subsequent spelling, is in prevailing usage, attributed to the publication of the original spelling, and therefore deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).
Type species: Lamiavomicosa Germar, 1823 (= Lamiasaga Dalman, 1823), by subsequent designation (J. Thomson 1864: 104). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Lacordaire (1830b); the first ones were the two species listed by Audinet- Serville (1835a: 68).

Oncocephala Agassiz, 1846: 259. Current status: junior synonym of Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844 in CHRYSOMELIDAE: CASSIDINAE: ONCOCEPHALINI. Note: unjustified emendation of Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844; Bouchard and Bousquet (2020a: 109) erroneously treated Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844 as a junior homonym of Onchocephala de Blainville, 1828 [Annelides], the name in Annelides is a suprageneric name and does not enter into homonymy at the genus-group level.
Type species: Oncocephalaquadrilobata Guérin-Méneville, 1844, by subsequent designation (Gressitt 1957: 265).
Family-group name: ONCOCÉPHALITES Chapuis, 1875. Stem: Oncocephal-.
Oncomera Stephens, 1829b: 20. Current status: valid subgenus of Oedemera G.-A. Olivier, 1789 in OEDEMERIDAE: OEDEMERINAE: OEDEMERINI. Note: name placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1988f).
Type species: Dryopsfemorata Fabricius, 1792 (= Oedemerafemoralis G.-A. Olivier, 1803), by plenary power (see ICZN 1988f). Note: Dryopsfemorata Fabricius, 1792 was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1988f).

Oncosoma Westwood, 1843c: 121. Current status: junior synonym of Amatodes Dejean, 1834 in TENEBRIONIDAE: BLAPTINAE: PEDININI: HELOPININA. Note: the original spelling was Ogcosoma but the unjustified emendation Oncosoma, introduced by Agassiz (1846: 257, 259), is in prevailing usage, attributed to the original publication, and therefore deemed to be a justified emendation and the correct spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.2.3.1).
Type species: Oncosomagranulare Westwood, 1843 (= Pimeliagemmata Fabricius, 1801), by monotypy.

Oncotus Blanchard, 1845a: 13, 24. Current status: valid genus in TENEBRIONIDAE: BLAPTINAE: PLATYNOTINI: EURYNOTINA. Note: this genus was described under the French vernacular name Oncote (p. 13) but listed in the same work under the scientific name Oncotus (p. 24).
Type species: Oncotusfarctus Solier, 1848, by subsequent designation (Gebien 1938b: 72). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Blanchard (1845a); the first ones were the five species described by Solier (1848b: 216–222).

Oniticellus Dejean, 1821: 53. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE: ONITICELLINI: ONITICELLINA.
Type species [suggested]: Scarabaeuscinctus Fabricius, 1775, by subsequent designation (Arrow 1931: 375). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Thon (1832b: 466), who selected Scarabaeusflavipes Fabricius, 1792, but that species is currently placed in the genus Euoniticellus A. Janssens, 1953; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Scarabaeuscinctus Fabricius, 1775 as the type species of Oniticellus Dejean, 1821.
Family-group name: ONITICELLINI Kolbe, 1905. Stem: Oniticell-.
Onitis Fabricius, 1798: 2. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: SCARABAEINAE: ONITINI.
Type species: Scarabaeussphinx Fabricius, 1775 [p. 25] (= Onitisbelial Fabricius, 1798), by subsequent designation (Latreille 1810: 428). Note: Fabricius (1798: 25–27) listed eight species in his new genus Onitis including O.sphinx (p. 26), which he referred to the Scarabaeussphinx of his work of 1792 (p. 53); in 1792, Fabricius referred his S.sphinx to the Scarabaeussphinx of G.-A. Olivier (1789b: [3] 135) who in turn referred the species to Fabricius (1775: 25); Fabricius (1775) described two species under the name Scarabaeussphinx, one on page 14 (from “Sierra Leon Africae”), the other on page 25 (from “America”), and the type species of Onitis is, following the sequence described above, the Scarabaeussphinx described by Fabricius (1775: 25) from “America,” which is, according to recent literature (e.g., Branco 2007: 16), a senior synonym of Onitisbelial Fabricius, 1798 described from “Cajennae”; the genus Onitis, except for adventive species in the Americas and Australia, is restricted to the southern Palaearctic, Afrotropical and Oriental Regions (Palestrini et al. 2002: 97) suggesting that the provenance given by Fabricius (1775 and 1798) for Scarabaeussphinx (p. 25) and Onitisbelial (p. 27) is incorrect.

Type species: Histerstriatus Forster, 1771, by subsequent designation (Curtis 1828: pl. 220). Note: the type species often listed for this genus is Histersulcatus Moll, 1784 (= Scolytuspunctatus O.F. Müller, 1776) by subsequent designation of Westwood (1838c: 22) (e.g., Mazur 1997: 7; Bousquet and Laplante 2006: 423; Lackner et al. 2015: 110) but Curtis’ designation is older; both species are currently included in the genus Onthophilus Leach, 1817.

Orodotes Bonvouloir, 1871: 74. Current status: valid genus in EUCNEMIDAE: MACRAULACINAE: ORODOTINI. Note: this name was first used by Gemminger in Gemminger and von Harold (1869b: 1481) but is unavailable from that date since it was not accompanied by a description or indication (ICZN 1999a, Article 12.1).

Type species: Cismandibularis Gyllenhal, 1813, by monotypy.
Family-group name: OROPHIINA C.G. Thomson, 1863. Stem: Orophi-. Note: senior homonym of OROPHIINI Lvovsky, 1974 (type genus Orophia Hübner, 1825) in Lepidoptera; the lepidopteran name was recently replaced with EUTORNINI Lvovsky, 2019 but such action is contrary to Article 55.3.1 (ICZN 1999a), which requires that the case be referred to the Commission for a ruling to remove the homonymy.

Type species: Orphinushaemorrhoidalis Motschulsky, 1858, by subsequent designation (Arrow 1915: 437). Note: the spelling haemorrhoidalis, which is an incorrect subsequent spelling of the original spelling haemorhoidalis, is in prevailing usage, attributed to the publication of the original spelling, and therefore deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999a, Article 33.3.1).

Type species: Hispamutica Linnaeus, 1767 (= Dermestesclavicornis Linnaeus, 1758), by subsequent monotypy (Latreille 1802b: 173, as Sarrotriummuticum F.). Note: in Opinion 1811 (ICZN 1995d), the Commission listed the type species of Orthocerus as Tenebriohirticornis DeGeer, 1775 (= Dermestesclavicornis Linnaeus, 1758) by subsequent monotypy in Latreille (1807: 172); however, Latreille (1802b: 173) listed a different nominal species by name (also considered a junior synonym of Dermestesclavicornis Linnaeus, 1758) under Orthocerus in an earlier publication, hence the change of type species as reported here; the original spelling Hispamuticus Linnaeus, 1797 was corrected to H.mutica in the “Errata” section of the same work on page [37]; the valid name of the type species, Dermestesclavicornis Linnaeus, 1758, was already placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995d).

Type species: Dermestespunctum Marsham, 1802, by subsequent designation (Westwood 1838c: 11). Note: no species were originally included in this genus by Stephens (1829a); the first ones were the six species listed by Stephens (1829a: 186, 187); Bowestead (2007: 634) listed the type species as a synonym of Cryptophagusatomus Gyllenhal, 1808 but mentioned that the assignment is doubtful.

Orthopleura Spinola, 1845b: 80. Current status: junior synonym of Dermestoides Schäffer, 1777 in CLERIDAE: KORYNETINAE. Note: three original spellings were used, Orthoplevra (pp. 80–83, 151, 167), Orthopleura (pl. xxxii), and Orthopleuva (pl. xlii); as far as we know, no one has acted as First Reviser (ICZN 1999a, Article 24.2.3) and therefore we here selectOrthopleura as the correct original spelling, i.e., the spelling in prevailing usage.

Osphya Illiger, 1807b: 370. Current status: valid genus in MELANDRYIDAE: OSPHYINAE. Note: in Volume 6 of ‘Magazin für Insektenkunde’, the name Pelecina was used by Illiger (1807a: 300) and Illiger (1807b: 333) but the unnecessary new replacement name Osphya was proposed instead in the ‘Verbesserung’ on page 370 by Illiger (1807c); both Pelecina and Osphya have the same publication date; Mulsant (1856b: 108–109) acted as First Reviser (ICZN 1999a, Article 24.2.2) when he used Osphya as valid.

Ostoma Laicharting, 1781: 102. Current status: valid genus in PELTIDAE. Note: this name became a senior synonym of Peltis, which has incorrectly been credited to O.F. Müller (1764: 13) in the literature (e.g., Kolibáč 2007: 366; Kolibáč et al. 2016: 683) since the Commission (ICZN 1994a) ruled that Peltis Geoffroy, 1762 and all other uses of the name prior to the publication of Peltis Kugelann, 1792 are suppressed for the purposes of both the Principle of Priority and the Principle of Homonymy.

Otidocephalus Chevrolat, 1832b: 100. Current status: junior synonym of Myrmex Sturm, 1826 in CURCULIONIDAE: CURCULIONINAE: OTIDOCEPHALINI. Note: the original spelling Otiocephalus was intentionally changed to Otidocephalus (p. 442) in a subsequent part (issued in 1833) of the same volume of the journal and therefore the original spelling is to be corrected (ICZN 1999a, Article 32.5.1.1).

Pelops Kaup, 1871: 37. Current status: invalid senior synonym of Protomocoelus Zang, 1905 in PASSALIDAE: PASSALINAE: MACROLININI. Note: junior homonym of Pelops Gistel, 1834 [Coleoptera: TENEBRIONIDAE] and Pelops C.L. Koch, 1835 [Acari]; the name Pelops Gistel, 1834 was recently treated as a nomen oblitum by Bousquet and Bouchard (2017: 132).
Type species: Passalusaustralis Boisduval, 1835, by subsequent designation (Gravely 1918: 107).
Family-group name: PELOPINAE Kuwert, 1896. Stem: Pelop-. Note: senior homonym of PELOPINAE Ewing, 1917 (type genus Pelops C.L. Koch, 1835) in Acari; family-group name permanently invalid (ICZN 1999a, Article 39).

Family-group name: PELOSSINI Tavakilian, 2013: 111, syn. nov. Stem: Peloss-. Note: this family-group name is unnecessary since it was proposed as a new replacement name for LYGRINI Sama, 2008 because of the synonymy of Lygrus Fåhraeus, 1872 with Pelossus J. Thomson, 1864; however, according to Article 40.1 (ICZN 1999a) when a name of a type genus is considered to be a junior synonym, the family-group name is not to be replaced on that account alone.
Peltastica Mannerheim, 1852: 334. Current status: valid genus in DERODONTIDAE: PELTASTICINAE.
Type species: Peltasticatuberculata Mannerheim, 1852, by monotypy.

Peltis Kugelann, 1792: 508. Current status: junior synonym of Ostoma Laicharting, 1781 in PELTIDAE. Note: this name has been credited to O.F. Müller (1764: 13) in the literature (e.g., Kolibáč 2007: 366, Kolibáč et al. 2016: 683) but in Opinion 1754 (ICZN 1994a) the Commission ruled that Peltis Geoffroy, 1762 and all other uses of the name prior to the publication of Peltis Kugelann, 1792 are suppressed for the purposes of both the Principle of Priority and the Principle of Homonymy, while Peltis Kugelann, 1792 was placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1994a); the change of authorship for Peltis from “O.F. Müller, 1764” to “Kugelann, 1792” by the Commission (ICZN 1994a) resulted in the fact that Ostoma Laicharting, 1781 is now the oldest name for this genus and should be used as valid.
Type species: Silphagrossa Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation (Hope 1841a: 150; see ICZN 1994a). Note: name placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1994a).

Peltonotus Burmeister, 1847: 75. Current status: valid genus in SCARABAEIDAE: DYNASTINAE: CYCLOCEPHALINI.
Type species: Peltonotusmorio Burmeister, 1847, by monotypy. Note: Burmeister (1847: 75) mentioned a second species, Melolonthascarabaeina Gyllenhal, 1817 [attributed to Schönherr], but in the Anhang [supplement] in the same publication (p. 521) he placed it in Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821, which is where it is placed currently; therefore, we do not consider Melolonthascarabaeina Gyllenhal, 1817 to be an originally included species.

Family-group name: PLATYCORYNI L.N. Medvedev & Rybakova, 1985: 118. Stem: Platycoryn-. Note: this name was overlooked in Bouchard et al. (2011) and Bouchard and Bousquet (2020a); this family-group name was proposed as a new replacement name for CORYNODINI T.A. Marshall, 1865 because of the synonymy and invalidity of its type genus; however, a family-group name is not to be replaced on that account alone (ICZN 1999a, Article 40.1) unless the substitute name was proposed before 1961 and is in prevailing usage (ICZN 1999a, Article 40.2), which is not the case here.
Platycrepidius Candèze, 1859: 159. Current status: valid genus in ELATERIDAE: AGRYPNINAE: PLATYCREPIDIINI. Note: name first proposed as a synonym of Eudactylus Sallé, 1855 and subsequently treated as valid (e.g., Fleutiaux 1934: 181) before 1961 (see ICZN 1999a, Article 11.6).

Type species: Coccinellabisbipustulata Fabricius, 1792 (= Coccinellaluteorubra Goeze, 1777), by monotypy. Note: Goeze’s (1777) work is not consistently binominal (see ICZN 2021a) and therefore an application to the Commission is necessary to retain Coccinellaluteorubra Goeze, 1777 as the valid name for the type species.

Platynectes Régimbart, 1879: 462. Current status: valid genus in DYTISCIDAE: AGABINAE: PLATYNECTINI. Note: name placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995a).
Type species: Agabusdecemnotatus Aubé, 1838, by subsequent designation (Guignot 1946: 117; see ICZN 1995a). Note: name placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology (ICZN 1995a).
Family-group name: PLATYNECTINI Toussaint & Balke in Toussaint et al., 2017: 504. Stem: Platynect-. Note: family-group name used as valid in recent publications but it is not an available name since it is not accompanied by a description or definition that states in words the characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon (ICZN 1999a, Article 13.1); in order to promote stability, we believe that a request should be submitted to the Commission to accept this family-group name as available from its first date of publication.

Type species: Carabusangusticollis Fabricius, 1801 (= Carabusassimilis Paykull, 1790), by subsequent monotypy (Germar 1817a: 303). Note: Platynuscomplanatus Dejean, 1831 is sometimes listed as the type species of this genus (e.g., J. Schmidt 2017: 666) but is not an originally included nominal species in Germar (1817a) and thus cannot be the type species of Platynus Bonelli, 1810 (ICZN 1999a, Article 67.2.2).

Type species: Tenebrioleucographus Pallas, 1773, by subsequent designation (Jacquelin du Val 1860b: 261). Note: Pallas (1773) used two different spellings for this species, Tenebrioleucographus (p. 474) and Tenebrioleucogrammus (p. 719); subsequently, Pallas (1781: 54) used T.leucographus as the valid name of the species and therefore acted as First Reviser (ICZN 1999a, Article 24.2.4).

Type species: Cryptophagusamplicollis Brisout de Barneville, 1866 (= Cryptophaguslapidarius Fairmaire, 1862), by subsequent designation (Otero and Diaz Pazos 1995: 183). Note: Otero and Diaz Pazos (1995: 183) designated Cryptophaguslapidarius as type species, which is not an originally included species; however, as they listed it in synonymy with Cryptophagusamplicollis, one of the two originally included species, they are deemed to have designated the latter species as type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2); Cryptophaguslaticollis L. Miller, 1858 (= Catopochrotidestermitophilus Kieseritzky & Reikhardt, 1936) is often listed as type species of Spaniophaenus, by subsequent designation of Leschen (1996: 601) but Otero and Diaz Pazos’ designation is earlier; both species are currently included in the genus Spaniophaenus Reitter.

Type species [suggested]: Strongylusater Herbst, 1792, by subsequent designation (Jelínek and Audisio 2003: 166). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Curtis (1831: pl. 339), who selected Nitidulastrigata Fabricius, 1787, but that is the type species of Cryptarcha Shuckard, 1840; an application to the Commission is needed to retain Strongylusater Herbst, 1792 as the type species of Strongylus Herbst, 1792.
Family-group name: STRONGYLINAE Erichson, 1843. Stem: Strongyl-. Note: family-group name permanently invalid (ICZN 1999a, Article 39).
Strophosoma Billberg, 1820: 44. Current status: valid genus in CURCULIONIDAE: ENTIMINAE: POLYDRUSITAE: BRACHYDERINI. Note: we consider the name Strophosomum Gistel, 1856 as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Strophosoma Billberg, notwithstanding the status given by Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 147), who consider the name an unnecessary new replacement name for Billberg’s name.

Type species [suggested]: Cryptocephalustamaricis Herrich-Schäffer, 1838, by subsequent designation (Gressitt and Kimoto 1961: 109). Note: Suffrian (1847: 8) originally included a single nominal species (p. 10) in his new genus, Cryptocephalusminutissimus Germar, 1823, but that species is currently placed in the subgenus Stylomicrus Petitpierre & Alonso-Zarazaga, 2000, not the nominotypical subgenus; subsequently, Suffrian (1848: 146) described the genus in length and included three species, including C.tamaricis; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Cryptocephalustamaricis Herrich- Schäffer, 1838 as the type species of Stylosomus Suffrian, 1847.

Subcoccinella Agassiz, 1846: 156. Current status: valid genus in COCCINELLIDAE: COCCINELLINAE: EPILACHNINI. Note: this name was first introduced under the vernacular name “Subcoccinelle” by Huber (1842: 376) and therefore it is not available from that publication; this genus-group name has been treated as a junior objective synonym of Lasia Hope, 1841 (e.g., Tomaszewska and Szawaryn 2016: 68), which is a junior homonym of Lasia Wiedemann, 1824 [Diptera]; however, we could not find evidence that Agassiz (1846: 156) proposed Subcoccinella as a new replacement name for Lasia Hope.
Type species: Coccinellaglobosa D.H. Schneider, 1792 (= Coccinellavigintiquatuorpunctata Linnaeus, 1758), by original designation (type fixation for Lasia Hope).

Timarcha Samouelle, 1819: 213. Current status: valid genus in CHRYSOMELIDAE: CHRYSOMELINAE: TIMARCHINI. Note: this genus is often credited to Latreille (1829b: 150) (e.g., Gómez- Zurita and Kippenberg 2010: 437) but it was made available earlier by Samouelle in 1819 when he associated two available nominal species, Chrysomelatenebricosa Fabricius, 1775 (on page 213) and Chrysomelacoriaria Laicharting, 1781 (on page 445), with the name.

Note: Lacordaire (1855: 495) designated Cetoniagariepena Gory & Percheron, 1833 as type species of Xiphoscelis, a nominal species not originally included, but since he placed that species in synonymy with Xiphoscelisschuckardi Burmeister, a species originally included, he is deemed to have designated the latter species as type species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2).

Type species: Ptilinusater Panzer, 1796, by plenary power (ICZN 1971, as Ptilinusater Creutzer, 1796). Note: Panzer (1796) listed Creutzer after the species’ name on the plate; however, Panzer was responsible for the work and he is the one that satisfied the criteria of availability (ICZN 1999a, Article 50.1).

Type species: Elaterbuprestoides Fabricius, 1792 (= Serropalpuslaevigatus Hellenius, 1786), by subsequent designation (Mulsant 1856b: 86). Note: Mulsant (1856b: 86) designated Serropalpuslaevigatus Hellenius, 1786 as type species, a species not originally included in Xylita, but since he listed the species in synonymy with Elaterbuprestoides Fabricius, 1792 at the same time, a species originally included in Xylita, he is deemed to have selected the latter species (ICZN 1999a, Article 69.2.2).

Xylophilus Latreille, 1828b: 589. Current status: invalid senior synonym of Euglenes Westwood, 1830 in ADERIDAE. Note: Latreille (1825: 383) used the vernacular name “Xylophile” for this genus, the name is therefore unavailable from that work; junior homonym of Xylophilus Mannerheim, 1823 [Coleoptera: EUCNEMIDAE].
Type species: Anthicusoculatus Paykull, 1798, by subsequent designation (Curtis 1830: pl. 299). Note: the type species often given in the literature is Notoxuspopulneus Creutzer, 1796 (e.g., Nardi 2007: 23) by subsequent designation of Westwood (1830a: 57, 61); however, we failed to find any indication in Westwood’s work that he designated a type species for Xylophilus Latreille, 1828. The valid type species fixation is that of Curtis (1830: pl. 299) and therefore Xylophilus Latreille, 1828 is a senior synonym of Euglenes Westwood, 1830, not of Aderus Stephens, 1829, as is sometimes recognized (e.g., Nardi 2020: 626).

Type species [suggested]: Scarabaeusgideon Linnaeus, 1767, by subsequent designation (E. Desmarest 1860: 92). Note: the valid type species fixation is that of Shuckard in Swainson and Shuckard (1840: 216), who selected Scarabaeuscentaurus Fabricius, 1775, but that species is currently included in the genus Augosoma Burmeister, 1841; an application to the Commission is necessary to fix Scarabaeusgideon Linnaeus, 1767 as the type species of Xylotrupes Hope, 1837.
