Description
Oberea gracillima Pascoe, 1867
Oberea nigriventris Bates, 1873
Comments. Pascoe described Oberea gracillima in 1867. Bates then described Oberea nigriventris in 1873. Breuning (1960b, 1961) downgraded Oberea gracillima Pascoe to Oberea nigriventris v. gracillima. However the senior synonym is Oberea gracillima (ICZN 1999: Art. 23.1). Reversal of precedence is allowed only if a senior synonym has not been used as a valid name since 1899 (ICZN 1999: Art. 23.9.1.1), and if its competing junior synonym has been used as its presumed valid name in at least 25 published works by at least 10 authors during the last 50 years (ICZN 1999: Art. 23.9.1.2). As it is here clearly not the case the principle of priority applies and Oberea gracillima Pascoe, 1867, has thus to be used instead of Oberea nigriventris Bates, 1873.
