| Sumario: | The present paper reviews the history of
taxonomy and nomenclature of the genus Raiboscelis
Allard, 1876. The original spelling of this genus name
is Raibosceles. While Raibosceles was rarely used, the
spelling Raiboscelis was adopted by many authors and
is in prevailing usage. Consequently, it should be used to
denote this taxon [ICZN Art. 33.3.1, and also 33.2.3.1].
The genus Hipponome Laporte, 1840 was established
for Helops azureus Brullé, 1832, a valid species known as
Raiboscelis azureus. Thus, Hipponome is a senior synonym
of Raiboscelis. As Hipponome was not used as valid after
1899 to our knowledge, it may be declared nomen oblitum.
Raiboscelis Allard, 1876 is currently used and here declared
nomen protectum. The required supporting references
[ICZN Art. 23.9.1.2] are annexed. The genus Raiboscelis
is redefined and the relevant taxonomic characters are
illustrated |
