Subsequent spelling ritchiei for Mnematium ritchii Macleay,1821 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeini) to be maintained for prevailing usage

Abstract

The specific name in Mnematium ritchiei Macleay,1821 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeini) is an incorrect subsequent spelling—the original spelling is ritchii—but, because of its prevailing usage here documented, is to be preserved.
