Abstract:

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to
conserve the widely used pseudoscorpion generic name Neobisium Chamberlin, 1930
by giving it precedence over the genus-group name Blothrus Schiödte, 1847, which is
currently used as a subgenus or synonym of Neobisium. The name Neobisium is in
widespread use for a group of pseudoscorpions found in the western Palaearctic
region.
