Cyclocephala rogerpauli Moore, Branham & Cave, new replacement name

Cyclocephala nigra Dechambre, 1999: 15-16 [original combination, homonym of C. nigra ( Endrődi)].

Types.

Holotype ♂ at MNHN ( Dechambre 1999).

Distribution.

COLOMBIA: Sucre.

References.

Dechambre 1999, Restrepo et al. 2003, Krajcik 2005, 2012, Gasca-Álvarez and Deloya 2016.

Remarks.

Moore et al. (2015) synonymized the genus Mimeoma within Cyclocephala . This created a case of homonymy between C. nigra Dechambre and C. nigra ( Endrődi) that went undetected at the time. Endrődi’s (1979) name has priority over Dechambre’s (1999) name. To rectify this homonym and to honor its original describer, we propose the nomen novum Cyclocephala rogerpauli as a new replacement name for the species described by Dechambre (1999).
