Note: the case with Conisternum, Koniosternum and Coniosternum is
similar to the Nanna/Amaurosoma case. The initial concept for this genus
traces from Becker, who published this genus name in May 1894 as
Koniosternum and Coniosternum (the former is probably a misprint).
However, Strobl has published the name (as Conisternum) about 2 months
earlier by citing from Becker´s unpublished manuscript. Thus, although
Strobl only used Becker´s manuscript names and certainly did not intend
to be the official author, he has published the names first and must be
treated as the author and his spelling as the valid spelling.
