Description

Genus Deltochilum Eschscholtz, 1822

Deltochilum Eschscholtz, 1822:37 (original description). Type species: Deltochilum dentipes Eschscholtz, 1822, by original monotypy. Note: Bouchard et al. (2024) recently stated that D. dentipes was fixed as the type species of Deltochilum by the subsequent designation of Thon (1832), but this is incorrect. Deltochilum dentipes was the sole nominal species that Eschscholtz originally included in the genus without hesitation. It is true that he also said that Ateuchus gibbosus (Fabricius, 1775) (currently, Deltochilum gibbosum) was “closely related” to D. dentipes and “seems to also belong to the genus” (“[...] welcher ebenfalls zu dieser Gattung zu gehören scheint”). However, because this was at most a doubtful assignment of the species to Deltochilum, gibbosus cannot be considered a second originally included nominal species per Article 67.2.5 of the Code (ICZN 1999) and has, therefore, never been eligible for type fixation. Deltochilum dentipes, having been the only originally included nominal species, was automatically fixed as the type species by original monotypy (Art. 68.3). After we brought this to his attention, Patrice Bouchard (pers. com. to MC, 12 th June 2024) now agrees with us.
