Macrocera obscura |
| Subspecies Original description Synonyms Macrocera obscura Schiner, 1863 (nec Brulle, 1832) Note: Macrocera obscura Brulle, 1832 is older than Macrocera obscura Schiner, 1863, but belongs to a species of Hymenoptera. Thus the homonymy of the species names is disregarded, because they are combined with homonymous genus names that have been established for different nominal genera (see Article 57.8.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature). Note: Macrocera obscura is often attributed to Winnertz, but the name is actually first mentioned in Schiner and validated by indication to Winnertz´ work (Article 12.2. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature). Winnertz´ paper was delayed in printing and thus unfortunately came out after the publication of Schiner. Thus, although Winnertz should have been the original author, due to the principle of priority now Schiner must be regarded as the author (see also Evenhuis 2006).
