The species Anomala tibialis Schaeffer, 1906 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini) was described based on a single specimen from Texas, United States of America, and is currently treated as a valid species. However, Anomala tibialis Schaeffer, 1906 is a junior homonym of the widespread African Anomala tibialis Lansberge, 1886. This primary junior homonym has no known available and potentially valid synonyms and must therefore be rejected and replaced by a new substitute name (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999, Articles 57.2 and 60.1). In this paper, full bibliography, distribution data, and new records for the species concerned are provided, and a new replacement name for Anomala tibialis Schaeffer, 1906 is established.
1906 年 Schaeffer 基于来自美国德克萨斯州的单一标本描述了物种 Anomala tibialis Schaeffer, 1906(鞘翅目:金龟科:犀金龟亚科:Anomalini),目前被视为有效物种。然而,1906 年的 Anomala tibialis Schaeffer 是广布于非洲的 Anomala tibialis Lansberge, 1886 的初级同物异名。这个主要的初级同物异名没有已知的、有效的可用同义词,因此必须被拒绝,并由一个新的替代名来取代(国际动物命名委员会 1999 年,第 57.2 和 60.1 条)。在本文中,提供了有关物种的完整文献目录、分布数据和新记录,并为 1906 年的 Anomala tibialis Schaeffer 建立了一个新的替代名。
