Abstract:

The corrected publication date of Guérin Ménevilleís publication "Histoire Naturelledes Crustacés, Arachnides et Insectes...Paris" affects some names proposed in the work cited above. The following nomenclatural acts based upon the date of publication of December 31st, 1838 for the text part and November 25th, 1830 for plate 2 are proposed. Cladophorus Guérin Méneville, 1830 (Lycidae) has priority over Cladophorus Gray, 1832 (Lampyridae). Consequently Spacekia Strand, 1936 is considered to be a junior objective synonym of Cladophorus Guérin Méneville, 1830 nec Gray, 1832.Metriorrhynchus Gemminger and Harold, 1869 is found to be the oldest replacement name for Metriorhynchus Guérin Méneville, 1838. Porrostoma Castelnau, 1838 is considered to be a valid name for a separate genus in Lycidae. Calopteron limbatum (F.) is designated to be the type species of the genus Calopteron Castelnau, 1838. Flabellotrichalus novaeguineensis nom. nov., comb. nov. is proposed for Cladophorus dimidiatus Bourgeois, 1892 nec Guérin Méneville, 1830 which is a senior objective homonym. Metriorrhynchinae Kleine, 1926 (Insecta, Coleoptera) is a valid name and Metriorrhynchus Gemminger et Harold, 1869 is the type genus of the subfamily. The author ship of some family group taxa has to be corrected: Calopterini Green, 1949 instead of Kleine, 1933 and Dexorini Bocák et Bocáková, 1990 instead of Kleine, 1933.
