Current status. Onthophagus ( Palaeonthophagus) petrovitzianus Pittino, 2006 .

Remark. PITTINO (2004) proposed the replacement name Onthophagus ( Palaeonthophagus) petrovitzi for Onthophagus ( Onthophagus) vitulus citellorum Petrovitz, 1967 , a junior primary homonym of Onthophagus citellorum Medvedev, 1965 . Later on, PITTINO (2006) found out, that also his O. ( P.) petrovitzi was already preoccupied by O. petrovitzi Frey, 1975 and established another replacement name O. ( P.) petrovitzianus Pittino, 2006 .
