Substitution of some species-level names in the tribe Hygrotini Portevin, 1929 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Hydroporinae) Author Fery, Hans text Zootaxa 2017 2017-11-01 4341 3 425 427 journal article 31668 10.11646/zootaxa.4341.3.8 698feb93-072e-4f58-8f24-706cf6f5d8e5 1175-5326 1040101 4B16ECCB-D4E0-466C-8074-9BA4C559FA42 Herophydrus vittatus Régimbart, 1895 Herophydrus vittatus Régimbart, 1895 : 43 was transferred to genus Hygrotus subgenus Hygrotus (s. str.) by Villastrigo et al . (2017b) . Thus, this name became a junior secondary homonym of Hygrotus ( Leptolambus ) vittatus ( Sharp 1884: 441 ) , which was originally published in the binomen Coelambus vittatus . The latter name was treated as junior synonym of Hygrotus ( Leptolambus ) chinensis ( Sharp, 1882 ) by J. Balfour-Browne (1947: 438; with the subgeneric name Coelambus ) for the first time. Afterwards, however, the taxon was again interpreted as valid (e.g. by Kirejtshuk 2001 ) until the synonymy was re-established by Fery (2003: 148) . Since no synonym of vittatus Régimbart exists, the name must be substituted by a new replacement name. This is why I hereby substitute the invalid name Hygrotus (s. str.) vittatus ( Régimbart, 1895 ) by the new replacement name Hygrotus (s. str.) mauricei nom. nov. The name is a substantive in the singular genitive formed from the forename of Maurice Régimbart and in honour of that great entomologist.
