Case 3314: Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 And Trichiotinus Casey, 1915 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae): Proposed Conservation, Andrew Smith
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the names of two well-established genera of cetoniine scarab beetles, Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum, 1840 and Trichiotinus Casey, 1915. Stegopterus Burmeister & Schaum is a junior synonym of Tetrophthalmus Kirby, 1827 and Trichiotinus Casey a junior synonym of Trichinus Kirby, 1827. The two junior names are in prevailing use and it is proposed that they be conserved by suppression of both Kirby's names.
