Case 3656Cerambyx striatusGoeze, 1777 (currentlyDorcadion glicyrrhizaestriatum) andCerambyx striatusFabricius, 1787 (currentlyChydarteres striatus) (Insecta, Coleoptera, cerambycidae): proposed conservation of the specific names

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.5 of the Code, is to conserve the specific names Cerambyx striatus Goeze, 1777 and Cerambyx striatus Fabricius, 1787.

The other two nominal species have not been considered congeneric since 1817, when Fabricius's species was transferred to Trachyderes Dalman, 1817. Finally, C. striatus Goeze was removed from Cerambyx Linnaeus, 1758 and placed in Dorcadion Dalman, 1817 in 1947. Currently, Cerambyx has no species with the specific name striatus and the three primary homonyms are in use in distinct generic combinations and are placed in three different subfamilies of cerambycidae. It is proposed that the names Cerambyx striatus Goeze, 1777 a...
