Ordo: Coleoptera

Genus: Themus
Name
Themus scutulatus Wittmer, 1983 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Themus rufoscutus Pic 1926a[1]: 35. [Secondary homonym, preoccupied by Themus rufoscutus (Pic, 1922), originally described in Cantharis.]
- Themus (s.str.) scutulatus Wittmer 1983a[2]: 208. [Replacement name for Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926, nec Pic 1922[3].]
- Themus (s.str.) hmong Kazantsev 2007[4]: 54. [Replacement name for Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926, nec Pic 1921[5] [1922].] syn. n.
Distribution
Vietnam.
Remarks
This species was originally described as Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926 (located in Vietnam), which became a junior secondary homonym of Themus rufoscutus (Pic, 1922) (located in Yunnan, China) since the taxonomic status of the latter was changed by Wittmer (1983a)[2], so the former was replaced by Themus (s.str.) scutulatus in the latter study. However, this nomenclature change was neglected by Kazantsev (2007)[4], so that Themus rufoscutus Pic, 1926 was replaced again by Themus (s.str.) hmong. In the same work (Kazantsev and Brancucci 2007[6]), the distribution of this species was recorded occurring in both Vietnam and China (Yunnan). Obviously, Themus (s.str.) hmong is a junior objective synonym of Themus (s.str.) scutulatus (ICZN, 4th ed., article 72.7), which should be restricted to Vietnam and excluded from the Chinese fauna at the moment.
