Highlights
Klinger (2000: 275) made use of the unavailable name Otolelus Mroczkowski and designated a type species for it: Xylophilus pruinosus Kiesenwetter, 1861. This action is contrary to the Code, since an unavailable name cannot have a type species by subsequent designation, only available names described before 1931 can have it
Article 67.8 only allows the designation of a type species for a genus published before 1931 without it, through a new replacement name in the same work where the replacement name is being proposed
Since there is no information about the relative precedence of both descriptions of Olotelus Mulsant & Rey (1866a or 1866b), and to avoid possible future complications, I designate here as well X. neglectus Jacquelin du Val, 1863 as the type species of Olotelus Mulsant & Rey, 1866b
