Cercopis fasciata
Heer, 1853b: 100

Cercopis fasciata
Fabricius, 1787a: 275
(synonym of
Philaenus spumarius
(

)
; widespread species)
Etymology:
The species is named in honor of Oswald Heer (1809–1883), Swiss geologist and naturalist.
Notes:
This homonymy is covered by Article 23.9.5 of the Code. See also notes on
Cercopis giebeli

Since
Cercopis fasciata
Heer, 1853
is not a frequently used name, a new replacement name is proposed here.
