Abstract

The intent of this note is to briefly describe the objective circumstances associated with a primary homonym, making a nomenclatural change necessary. A new name is proposed for a subspecies of grasshopper (Acridoidea: Dericorythidae: Dericorythinae) from Africa. The name Dericorys escalerai descampsi, nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name, in honor of the work of the eminent orthopterist, Marius Descamps.
