Case 3684Elasmostethus dorsalisJakovlev, 1876 (currentlyElasmucha dorsalis; Insecta, Heteroptera): proposed precedence overAcanthosoma vicinumUhler, 1861 (currentlyElasmucha vicina)
The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the widely used specific name Elasmucha dorsalis (Jakovlev, 1876) for a species of subsocial acanthosomatid bug from East Asia. The name is threatened by the senior subjective synonym Elasmucha vicina (Uhler, 1861), which has seldom been used since its first publication. Therefore, precedence of the name Elasmucha dorsalis (Jakovlev, 1876) is proposed.
