Remarks.
The paper by
Gebler (1829)
, formerly considered to have been published in 1830, and dated as such on the first page, actually appeared on
October 4, 1829
(
Schmitt 2017 and Alonso-Zarazaga, personal communication
). The paper by
Zubkov (1829)
was surely printed after
November 1, 1829
(date of the printing permit as reported on the second page). In the past,
C. pulverulentus
was considered a variety of
C. conirostris
. In 2013 Gebler’s paper was thought having been published in 1830, and therefore in the CPC
C. pulverulentus
was used with priority over
C. conirostris
, but now the former use of
C. conirostris
has to be resurrected. A few other names in
Cleonini
are affected by this reversal of priority. However, in these cases Gebler’s names were never used as valid (even at infraspecific rank). Therefore, pending further research on the possible application of Art. 23.9, or alternatively to propose the conservation of Zubkov’s names to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, the present day status is maintained (each case is indicated in WCC under the respective genus).
