PARATYPES (3 JJ): ‘ Eskisehir, 792m, As. min. / leg. Petrovitz-Ressl [p] // Onthophagus vitulus / ssp. citellorum m. / Petrovitz ’66 [p, red label] // PARATYPUS [p, red label]’.

Current status. Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) petrovitzianus Pittino, 2006 .

Remark. PITTINO (2004) proposed the replacement name Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) petrovitzi for Onthophagus (Onthophagus) vitulus citellorum Petrovitz, 1967 , a junior primary homonym of Onthophagus citellorum Medvedev, 1965 . Later on, PITTINO (2006) found out, that also his O. (P.) petrovitzi was already preoccupied by O. petrovitzi Frey, 1975 and established another replacement name O. (P.) petrovitzianus Pittino, 2006 .
