Treatment

Exocelina bacchus Balke View in CoL nom. nov.

Copelatus (Papuadytes) bacchusi Balke, 1998, not Copelatus bacchusi Wewalka, 1981.

Remark.

We provide a replacement name for Exocelina bacchusi (Balke, 1998), described as Copelatus (Papuadytes) bacchusi Balke, 1998, since the species name of the latter is preoccupied by Wewalka (1981) and, therefore, it is a junior homonym of Copelatus bacchusi Wewalka, 1981. The species stays named for its collector, Mick Bacchus. The name is a noun in apposition.
