Aulonogyrus Motschulsky, 1853

Aulonogyrus has been credited to Motschulsky by Régimbart (1882) but as unpublished. Balfour-Browne (1945) stated that Motschulsky did in fact use the nomen in 1853 in association with several valid specific nomina in a published work, but Balfour-Browne, working under an older version of the Code, did not consider the nomen available and credited Aulonogyrus to Régimbart. According to Article 12.2.5 of the current Code, Aulonogyrus Motschulsky, 1853 is available through indication, making Motschulsky (1853) the correct author of Aulonogyrus . Balfour-Browne’s (1945) justification for the type designation remains sound.
