Golsinda Pascoe, 1857

Yamasako, Junsuke & Makihara, Hiroshi, 2011, A new species of the genus Golsinda Pascoe, 1857 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Mesosini) from the Malay Peninsula, with a nomenclatural note of the genus, Zootaxa 3047, pp. 63-68 : 63-64

Genus Golsinda Pascoe, 1857

Golsinda Pascoe, 1857: 49 ; Thomson, 1861: 343; 1864: 369; Pascoe, 1864 /65: 96, 133; Lacordaire, 1869: 368, 370; Aurivillius, 1922: 135; Breuning, 1938: 388; 1959: 49; Rondon & Breuning, 1970: 318, 319.

Type species: Golsinda corallina Pascoe, 1857 .

Nomenclatural notes. The authorship of the genus Golsinda and G. corallina has been credited to Thomson (1860) by succeeding researchers (e.g. Pascoe 1862, Breuning 1939, 1959, Rondon & Breuning 1970). However, this genus was first established by Pascoe (1857) with the descriptions of G. tessellata , G. reticulata and G. c o r a l - lina prior to Thomson (1860, 1861), though G. reticulata and G. corallina were put in the note with a short and austere description referred to White’s unpublished manuscript. These descriptions can be regarded as fulfilling the provision of article 12 of ICZN (1999). Therefore, G. reticulata and G. corallina should be available species names under the authorship of Pascoe (1857). The authorship of the genus also should be attributed to Pascoe (1857) ( ICZN 1999, Art. 11.5 and 12.2.5).

Thomson (1861) redescribed “ Golsinda White ?” and “ Golsinda corallina White ?” and listed “ G. tessellata, Pascoe ” in his note. Later, Pascoe (1862) established the genus Palimna for G. tessellata and G. reticulata , and remarked that Thomson (1861) designated the type species of Golsinda as G. corallina . However, the type species of the genus was fixed neither by Pascoe (1857) nor by Thomson (1861). It should be noted that Pascoe (1862) subsequently designated the type species of Golsinda as G. corallina , even if it was unintentional ( ICZN 1999, Art. 69.1.1). As a result, the authorship of the genus Golsinda should be attributed to Pascoe (1857), and the type species of this genus is G. corallina Pascoe, 1857 , subsequently designated by Pascoe (1862).
