Scleronimon

REITTER (1904: 127) described Scleronimon as a taxon of subgeneric rank. He included in this subgenus two species, S. peyerimhoffi REITTER, 1904 and S. granulatus REITTER, 1904 , but did not designate a type species. Scleronimon is currently placed as a subgenus in Eurycaulus FAIRMAIRE, 1868 . ESPAÑOL and VIÑOLAS (1981) designated as type species of Scleronimon REITTER Eurycaulus marmottani FAIRMAIRE, 1868 . This is an unvalid designation because E. marmottani FAIRMAIRE, 1868 was not originally included in Scleronimon ( cf. ICZN Art. 67.2.1). Besides, E. marmottani FAIRMAIRE, 1868 is the type species of Eurycaulus . We designate hereby Eurycaulus granulatus REITTER, 1904 as the type species of the subgenus Scleronimon .
