Treatment

Trachytes Michael, 1894: 297 .

Trachynotus Kramer, 1876: 74 (junior homonym). Type species Trachynotus pyriformis Kramer, 1876: 74 , designated by Michael, 1894: 293.

Notes. Trachytes Michael, 1894 was a replacement name for Trachynotus Kramer, 1876 , which is a junior homonym of Trachynotus Latreille, 1829 ( Coleoptera ). When it was originally described, Trachytes included two species— Celaeno aegrota Koch, 1847 and Trachynotus pyriformis Kramer, 1876 . Camin (1953) reported that Michael (1894) had designated pyriformis as the type species of Trachynotus . This would automatically mean that pyriformis is also the type species of Trachytes . Johnston (1961) also stated that Michael (1894) had designated pyriformis as the type species of both Trachynotus and Trachytes . Camin and Johnston appear to be referring to Michael's statement (1908: 293) that Trachynotus pyriformis Kramer, 1876 "may well be the type of a separate genus". Some authors report that the type species of Trachytes is Celaeno aegrota Koch, 1847 , but this was adequately refuted by Camin (1953). The genus name Trachynotus has been incorrectly spelled as Trachinotus and Trachynothus by some authors.
