Both names have been described and published in the same work and thus at the same time. Some authors argue that "sericatus" should have precedence, because it was published on a different page before "sclopetarius". However, such a "page priority" rule does not exist in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Rather, the first reviser decides which name is the valid name. I am currently unaware of who has first revised this genus or this particular case. Note: the synonymy of the taxon jacobea has been confirmed by Breitling et al. 2016.
