synonym Petaloscelis Bergroth, 1893

• Nomenclatural details:   Unjustified emendation (Correct spelling is Petascelis)
• Citations:
  • Bergroth. 1893. Jornal de Sciencias Mathematicas, Physicas e Naturaes 2 10:125   >> Note: Spelling employed in the combination Petaloscelis remipes >> Petaloscelis    urn:lsid:Coreoidea.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:473219
• Scrutiny:
  • Dolling, 2015, Bergroth (1893d: 125) employed the spelling Petaloscelis in the combination Petaloscelis remipes. This appears to be a deliberate emendation of Petascelis because he later (Bergroth, 1913d: 126, 135) emended the name of its tribe to Petaloscelidaria and this spelling appears to be etymologically correct. We regard it as an unjustified emendation because all other authors have accepted Signoret’s original spelling
• Type species information not available.
• The first family-group name based on this genus is Petaloscelidaria Bergroth, 1913.
