Cetonia squamosa Gory & Percheron, 1833 (currently Aethiessa squamosa; Insecta, Coleoptera): specific name conserved
Abstract

The Commission has conserved the specific name Cetonia squamosa Gory & Percheron, 1833 by ruling that it is not invalid by reason of being a junior homonym of C. squamosa Lefebvre, 1827 (currently Protaetia (Netocia) squamosa, also cetoniidae), endemic in southern Italy including Sicily.
