Diptera Oestridae Oestrus Gyrostigma nomenclature

Abstract

The authorship and date of publication of Oestrus rhinocerontis is corrected from the Rev. F.W. Hope in 1840 to SirRichard Owen in 1830. A list of new names proposed in Owen (1830) is given, many of which are earlier than publishedelsewhere and have been missed by previous workers. Additionally, the name Gyrostigma rhinocerontis bicornis Brauer is shown to be an available name dating from Brauer (1896).
