† Cercopis oswaldheeri nom.nov.

= Cercopis pallida Heer, 1853b: 97 View in CoL (from Miocene) primary homonym of Cercopis spumaria var. pallida Zetterstedt, 1828a: 515 View in CoL (synonym of Philaenus spumarius ( Linnaeus, 1758) View in CoL ; widespread species) and Cosmoscarta pallida ( Walker, 1851b: 657) View in CoL ; original genus Cercopis View in CoL ).

Etymology: The species is named in honor of Oswald Heer (1809–1883), Swiss geologist and naturalist.

Notes: This homonymy is covered by Article 23.9.5 of the Code. See also notes on Cercopis giebeli nom.nov. Since Cercopis pallida Heer, 1853 is not a frequently used name, a new replacement name is proposed here.
