Abstract

The purpose of this application, under Articles 70.2 and 81.1 of the Code, is to preserve stability in the taxonomy of the beetle family Dytiscidae by designating DytiscusunistriatusGoeze, 1777 as the type species of BidessusSharp, 1880. The discovery of an earlier use of the name Bidessus, previously attributed to Sharp in 1882, with DytiscusgeminusFabricius, 1792 as type species, results in disruptive nomenclatural changes in the family Dytiscidae if accepted.
