Abstract

In our recent paper (Clavijo-Bustos & Cáceres 2024), we acted as First Revisers under Article 24.2.1 of the Code (Anonymous 1999) to establish that Hope’s “On a new species of Dynastes and other Coleoptera” was made available in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of London (hereinafter abbreviated as “the Proceedings”), volume 4 page 11, year 1841 (Hope 1841b) rather than in The Annals and Magazine of Natural History (hereinafter abbreviated as “the Annals”), volume 7, page 147, year 1841 (Hope 1841a). However, our interpretation of Wheeler’s (1912) paper about the dates of the publications of the Entomological Society of London was inaccurate and, therefore, we correct our conclusions here.
