Abstract

The name Verruca was proposed for a new genus of wasps described by Sheng & Sun (2018) with the type species Verruca dentia Sheng & Sun, 2018 in the family Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera). However, it cannot be used as a valid generic name due to homonymy as the genus Verruca was established by Schumacher (1817) in the barnacle family Verrucidae (Cirripedia, Verrucomorpha). Verruca Schumacher is a valid generic name in Verrucomorpha.
