Orsillus depressus
(Mulsant et Rey, 1852)
Orsillus
depressus Dallas, 1852 (homonym and synonym, see
note below)
Phygadicus graminis Garbiglietti, 1869
Macrorhamphus caucasicus Jakovlev, 1876
Note: Mulsant and Rey, and Dallas described this
species in parallel in the same year with
the same name. Thus both names are synonyms and
homonyms at the same time. The valid name,
Orsillus depressus, is unaffected of this
homonymy/synonymy, but the authorship is unclear.
The principle of priority normally decides in
these cases, but unfortunately the exact date of
publication of the two names in not currently
known. The first reviser of the genus has selected
the description by Mulsant and Rey for priority
and, thus, currently the correct authorship has to
be credited to Mulsant and Rey.
