Abstract:

The Commission has conserved the name Petauristes quadripunctatus
(Olivier, 1808) for a common and widespread South Asian beetle originally described
as Crioceris quadripunctata, by ruling that it is not invalid by reason of being a junior
primary homonym of Crioceris quadripunctata Fabricius, 1801 (currently Monolepta
quadripunctata).
