Tribe Onitini Laporte, 1840 View in CoL

Onitides Laporte, 1840b: 88 [stem: Onit-]. Type genus: Onitis Fabricius, 1798. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Shipp (1894: 255, as Onitidae ), generally accepted as in A. B. T. Smith (2006: 161, as Onitini ); although Fabricius originally treated the type genus name as masculine, it appears in Greek dictionaries as a feminine noun (with stem Onitid -); we recommend that an application be submitted to the Commission to establish the correct gender of Onitis and the correct stem based on that genus.
