APPENDIX A 

 ISCHYRUS SPECIES NAMES 



This alphabetical list includes all specific names used 

 in combination with the generic name Ischyrus; including 

 valid names, names which have been moved to other genera, 

 synonyms, homonyms, and nomina nuda . It is meant to serve 

 as a guide in finding the current status of a name and help 

 prevent the creation of name problems in future research. 



Citations are presented in the format: name describer 

 year:page. Original genus. Statements on current status 

 and citations to the place where any changes were made. 



Alvarenga (1965) changed many of the generic names 

 listed in this Appendix. A proposal has been submitted to 

 the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature to 

 conserve the generic names changed by Alvarenga (see 

 Nomenclatural Status and Skelley & Goodrich [1994]). 

 Pending the ruling of the Commission, the species names are 

 listed below in their current usage. This list does not 

 reflect the generic changes made by Alvarenga.
