Treatment

Scrapter punctulatus Kuhlmann nom. nov.

First, Willem Coetzer, South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, Grahamstown ( South Africa), and later independently Vladimir G. Radchenko, Institute of Evolutionary Ecology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev ( Ukraine), pointed out to me (MK) that Scrapter punctatus Kuhlmann, 2014 is a primary junior homonym of S. punctatus Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825 (= Allodape punctata [Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825]) ( Eardley & Urban 2010). There is no known synonym of the junior homonym so following article 60.3 ICZN the new substitute name S. punctulatus nom. nov. is here proposed for S. punctatus Kuhlmann, 2014 .
