On the complex nomenclatural situation of two common Palaearctic weevils: Dorytomus rufatus Bedel, 1888 and Orchestes pilosus Fabricius, 1781 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

摘要

In accordance with the ICZN (1999), seven actions are taken to preserve nomenclatural stability of taxa currently belonging to Curculionidae. Following the provisions of Article 23.9.1 Dorytomus rufatus (Bedel, 1888) (formerly Eteophilus) is made a nomen protectum and Curculio arcuatus Panzer, 1794, Curculio fructuum Marsham, 1802 and Dorytomus simplex Faust, 1883 are made nomina oblita; Orchestes pilosus (Fabricius,1781) (formerly Curculio) is made a nomen protectum and Curculio segetis Linnaeus, 1758 and Curculio saltatorsegetis DeGeer, 1775 are made nomina oblita. Having met the conditions of Article 75 neotypes of Curculio fructuum Marsham, 1802, Curculio rubellus Marsham, 1802, Curculio saltatorsegetis DeGeer, 1775, Curculio segetis Linnaeus, 1758 and Dorytomus rufulus Bedel, 1884 are designated. Lectotypes of Curculio arcuatus Panzer, 1794, Curculio ilicis Fabricius, 1787 and Curculio pectoralis Panzer, 1795 are also designated. The following new synonymies are proposed: Dorytomus melanophthalmus (Paykull, 1792) (=Curculio pectoralis Panzer, 1795syn. nov.; = Curculio rubellus Marsham, 1802syn. nov.), and the following synonymies are confirmed: Dorytomus rufatus (Bedel, 1888) (=Curculio arcuatus Panzer, 1794; = Curculio fructuum Marsham, 1802; = Dorytomus rufulus Bedel, 1884; = Dorytomus simplex Faust, 1883); Orchestes pilosus (Fabricius,1781) (=Curculio ilicis Fabricius, 1787; = Curculio saltatorsegetis DeGeer, 1775; = Curculio segetis Linnaeus, 1758).
