Abstract

In 1947, Théry described a genus of buprestid beetle from Angola, naming it Maublancia Théry, 1947. He included two species in this genus; M. auberti Théry, 1947 and M. testui Théry, 1947. He did not, however, nominate a type species. Under Article 13.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999) this name is not available.
