Notes. GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE (1843) dedicated the species to its collector, M. Perbosc, using the latinized form of his name (Perboscius, stem perbosci -) to form the name as O. perboscii, which is the correct original spelling of the name. The name was cited as O. perboscii at least five times (for references see above) until KIRKALDY & TORRE BUENO (1909), with a single exception of CHAMPION (1901). CHAMPION (1901), MONTANDON (1910), and all subsequent authors (for 27 additional references see above) used the incorrect subsequent spelling of the name, O. perbosci (see ICZN 1999: Art. 32.1–3, 33.3, 33.4). In this case the Article 33.3.1 (ICZN 1999) applies in favour of O. perbosci: ‘when an incorrect subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the publication of the original spelling, the subsequent spelling and attribution are to be preserved and the spelling is deemed to be a correct original spelling.’ We recognize O. perbosci as being in prevailing usage and therefore the correct original spelling in the sense of ICZN (1999). GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE (1843) described the species based on unknown number of specimens and without information on their depository. CHAMPION (1901) wrote that: ‘The type of this insect was obtained by us from the Sallé collection’. CIANFERONI (2012) specified the sex of the specimen, incorrectly labelled as holotype, as male. Using the term ‘the type’ for the syntype he used for definition of the taxon, CHAMPION (1901) fulfilled the requirements of the Article 74.5 (ICZN 1999) and his action constitutes a valid lectotype designation. It was also recorded from Cuba by CHAMPION (1901) and KIRKALDY & TORRE BUENO (1909) by error (see NARANJO et al. 2010, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2016).
