Abstract

The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has used its plenary power to set aside all previous fixations of type species for the nominal genus ThorectesMulsant, 1842 prior to the designation of Scarabaeus laevigatusFabricius, 1798 by López-Colón & Alonso-Zarazaga (2006) which it has accepted as valid.
