Treatment

Herostrates Gistel, 1848 , syn. nov.

Herostrates Gistel, 1848b : xi; GISTEL (1851): xi.

Current status. New junior objective synonym of Metaxyonycha Chevrolat, 1836.

Comments. Herostrates Gistel, 1848 was proposed as an unnecessary new replacement name for Metazyonycha Chevrolat, 1836 ( GISTEL 1848b). The spelling Metaxyonycha is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Metazyonycha in prevailing usage and attributed to the publication of the original spelling; therefore, Metaxyonycha is deemed to be the correct original spelling according to Article 33.3.1 ( ICZN 1999) (BOUCHARD & BOUSQUET 2013).
