Chrysomela elongata Suffrian, 1851 (currently Oreina elongata; Insecta, Coleoptera): name conserved
Abstract

The Commission has conserved the use of the well known alpine leaf beetle name Oreina elongata (Suffrian, 1851), originally published as Chrysomela elongata, and thus a junior primary homonym of Chrysomela elongata Linnaeus, 1758, currently known as Tillus elongatus (Linnaeus, 1758).
