Tribe VALGINI Mulsant, 1842

Original spelling and citation: Valguaires Mulsant 1842: 519

Type genus: Valgus Scriba, 1790: 66

Remark: Valguaires Mulsant (1842: 718) and Valgidae Burmeister (1842: 718) were both used in the same year. Mulsant (1842) was published in August 1842 ( Sherborn 1922) and the introduction to Burmeister (1842) is dated September 1842. Therefore, Mulsant (1842) was published first and should be credited with authorship of this family-group name. Although this family-group name was not originally proposed in a Latinized form, it has subsequently been Latinized by numerous authors and should be considered available under Article 11.7.2.
