Description
Eulagius acernus Motschulsky, 1845
Eulagius acernus Motschulsky, 1845: 92.
Tritoma univestris Reitter, 1878: 166.
Atritomus univestis (Reitter, 1878) – auctorum (incorrect subsequent spelling and then unavailable name).
Remarks
Among the species formerly ascribed to Atritomus Reitter, 1877, ‘ univestris ’ has been spelled as ‘ univestis ’by several authors (see Jakobson 1915; Hetschko 1930; Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1976). Although the original specific epithet ‘ univestris ’ is incorrect in the Latin language [the linguistically correct term ‘ univestis ’ means ‘uniformly dressed’], it must be preserved unaltered in accordance with Art. 32.3 of the ICZN (1999), as the provisions of Art. 32.5 are not met. Therefore, the name ‘ univestis ’ is to be considered an incorrect subsequent spelling (ICZN 1999: art. 33.3) and thus unavailable. Tritoma univestris is currently accepted as a synonym of Eulagius acernus (Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1976; Nikitsky 2008, 2020).
According to Nikitsky (2020), Eulagius acernus is distributed in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and in the southern part of European Russia.
