Genus Platydrilus[edit]

In 2021, a genus under the name "Platydrilus" was published in the subfamily Telegeusinae. (See the López-Pérez & Zaragoza-Caballero (2021) reference in the subfamily article.) Unfortunately this name is not acceptable under the ICZN, because Platydrilus Michaelsen, 1891 is already in use for a genus of oligochaete. The original publication is at: Michaelsen, W. (1891), "Beschreibung der von Herrn Dr. Fr. Stuhlmann auf Sansibar und dem gegenüberliegenden Festlande gesammelten Terricolen. Anhang I. Übersicht über die Teleudrilinen", Jahrbuch der Hamburgischen Wissenschaftlichen Anstalten, 9: 49. So we shouldn't create an article for the beetle genus under this name.
