. Bulletin of zoological nomenclature. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 47(2) June 1990 Case2687 â IJ-'-j'^y''^'^f Longitarsus 5j/M/?/rjr/Heikertinger, 1912 (Insecta, Coleoptera): proposed conservation of the specific name Lech Borowiec Department of Zoology, Agricultural University, Cybulskiego 20, 50-205 Wroclaw, Poland Abstract. The purpose of this application is the conservation of the specific name of a flea beetle, Longitarsus symphyti Heikertinger, 1912, which is threatened by an unused senior synonym. 1. In 1893 Weise (p. 1010) described a 'var. luctatof under Longitarsus aeruginosus . The name luctator has never been used by subsequent authors, but under Article 45g(ii) the name is to be treated as subspecific. 2. Heikertinger (1912, p. 69) showed that the 'variety' described by Weise as luctator is the winged form of an independent species, which he named Longitarsus symphyti. This name has been used by all subsequent authors. A representative list of six important works on European chrysomelidae in which symphyti is used is held by the Secretariat. The species is widespread in west and central Europe, except the Mediterranean subregion. 3. As the name luctator has not been used in entomological literature since its proposal for a "variety" and the name symphyti has gained wide usage for this species of flea beetle, it is desirable for the sake of stability that the older synonym be suppressed. 4. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature is accordingly asked: (1) to suppress the specific name luctator Weise, 1893, as pubHshed in the combi- nation Longitarsus aeruginosus var. luctator, for the purposes of the Principle of Priority but not for those of the Principle of Homonymy; (2) to place on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology the name symphyti Heikertinger, 1912, as published in the binomen Longitarsus symphyti; (3) to place on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology the name luctator W
