Amplinus, Pycnotropis, taxonomy, nomenclature, homonymy, redescriptionAbstract
The Mexican millipede Euryurus flavocarinatus Daday, 1889, has remained as incertae sedis for over a century. Examination of the holotype shows that the species belongs to Amplinus, a genus of the large polydesmidan family Aphelidesmidae. Here, we present a full redescription of the holotype of Amplinus flavocarinatus (Daday, 1889) comb. nov. On the other hand, Euryurus flavocarinatus Silvestri, 1899 (currently included in the genus Pycnotropis) is a junior primary homonym of E. flavocarinatus Daday, 1889 and, to solve this issue, the name Pycnotropis silvestrii Recuero & Aguado-Aranda new name is proposed to replace Silvestri’s name. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6E6CAC33-882D-4CB6-8600-9C72C13D4AC8
