Abstract

In November 2023, Deschodt & Sole (2023) proposed the new genus-group name Hathor Deschodt for a peculiar, putatively ant-associated onthophagine dung beetle from Gauteng province, South Africa. The genus is as yet known only from the female holotype of the species Hathor spinosa Deschodt, 2023. It was overlooked that the new generic name is preoccupied by Hathor Kirkaldy & Edwards, 1902, as regulated by the Principle of Homonymy (Articles 5260 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature [henceforth the Code, Anonymous 1999]). Hathor Kirkaldy & Edwards is a monotypic genus of red bug or cotton stainer (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoroidea: Pyrrhocoridae) from tropical Africa, itself a junior subjective synonym of Sericocoris Karsch, 1892. Sericocoris is currently a valid genus (Robertson 2004; Stehlk & Jindra 2011).

摘要

2023 年 11 月，德斯乔赫特和索莱（2023）提出了一个新的属群名称 Hathor Deschodt，用于描述一种来自南非豪登省的奇特、推测与蚂蚁有关的粪金龟科昆虫。该属目前仅知其模式种 Hathor spinosa Deschodt，2023 为雌性。人们忽略了这个新的属名已经被 Hathor Kirkaldy & Edwards，1902 抢先使用，这是根据同物异名原则（国际动物命名法规[以下简称法规]第 5260 条，Anonymous 1999）规定的。Hathor Kirkaldy & Edwards 是一个单种属的红蝽或棉斑蝽（半翅目：异翅目： Pyrrhocoroidea：Pyrrhocoridae），来自热带非洲，本身是 Sericocoris Karsch，1892 的一个低级主观同义词。Sericocoris 目前是一个有效的属（Robertson 2004；Stehlk & Jindra 2011）。
