Extract

The subjective synonymies of Hylastes rufipes Eichhoff with Hylesinus opaculus Leconte and Hylastes salebrosus Eichhoff with Hylurgus scabripennis Zimmermann have been generally accepted (Eichhoff 1896; Wood 1979), but there has been disagreement about priority owing to differences in opinion about publication dates of Eichhoff's descriptions. Recently, Wood (1979) gave priority to Hylastes opaculus Leconte and Hylurgus scabripennis Zimmermann. This note reaffirms the priority of Eichhoff's names.
