Fixation of Two Original Genus-Level Spellings in Reduviidae (Hemiptera)

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to fix the original spelling of two genus-level names in Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) according to provisions set forth in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999, Art. 24). This article governs the “precedence between simultaneously published names, spellings or acts” and requires adjudication by a First Reviser to select the correct original spelling from among the simultaneously published iterations. Each case comprises two different spellings in the original description, and each, to my knowledge, remains unresolved.
