Type material examined. Acanthosoma vicinum. Lectotype (♂): “ Acanthosoma \ vicinum \ Uhler. \ HongKong \ Roger’s. Exp.” [handwritten]”, “PRUhler \ Collection” [printed], “TypeNo. [printed] \ 69812 [handwritten] \ U.S. N.M. [printed]” [red square], “LECTO- \ TYPE ” [printed circle outlined in dark blue]; with right antennal segments III–IV, apical third of scutellum, right mid leg, and some tarsal segments lacking; genitalia preserved in glass microvial with glycerol pinned with the specimen; abdomen of another conspecific male mounted on card and pinned with the specimen (it is not considered as part of the type series); deposited in USNM (Figs. 1–5).

Additional specimens examined. About 300 specimens were examined in connection with the present study, they are not listed in detail but their localities are marked under Distribution with exclamatory points.

Diagnosis. Recognized within the genus based on the following combination of characters: humeri with a pair of distinct but relatively short, posterolaterally directed, apically blunt processes which are reddish to black with coarse black punctures (Figs. 1–2); metapleuron with narrowly separated, occasionally confluent punctures; laterotergites of abdominal segments VI and VII yellow, unpunctured, posterolateral angle of laterotergite VII narrowly, posterior margin of laterotergite VII broadly infuscate; abdominal venter with coarse, black punctures sublaterally (Fig. 2). The shape of the genital capsule of the male is diagnostic; it was figured, among others, by Kerzhner (1972), Hsiao & Liu (1977), Vinokurov (1979), Kanyukova (1988), Nonnaizab (1988) and Vinokurov & Kanyukova (1995). Female terminalia are illustrated in Fig. 6 and compared with those of two other morphologically similar species, E. signoreti Scott, 1874 (Fig. 7), E. putoni Scott, 1874 (Fig. 8) and E. laeviventris Liu, 1979 (Fig. 9). The species can readily be identified using the redescriptions and illustrations of any of the above listed works.

Distribution. A Manchurian-Temperate Northwest Pacific element, distributed all over East Asia from the Russian Far East to the temperate parts of China and Japan, entering the Oriental Region only marginally.— RUSSIA (bibliography provided by Vinokurov et al. 2010).

Discussion. The identity of Elasmucha dorsalis was clarified by Kerzhner (1972) based on the reexamination of syntypes; the author designated a lectotype and provided illustrations of diagnostic characters, particularly the male genital capsule. There has been an unequivocal agreement about the identity of this species among subsequent authors. Reexamination of the lectotype of Acanthosoma vicinum (including its male genitalia removed by a previous worker but preserved in good condition) in connection with the present study revealed that it is conspecific with E. dorsalis, and as a consequence the following new species level subjective synonymy is proposed: Elasmucha vicina (Uhler, 1861), comb. nov. = Elasmucha dorsalis (Jakovlev, 1876), syn. nov.

There is a considerable number of modern works referring to this biological species under the junior name E. dorsalis, and more than 100 of them were published in the immediately preceding 50 years. Besides of numerous faunistic records the bibliography of the species includes papers providing redescriptions, photos or illustrations of diagnostic characters of adults (Petrova 1975, Hsiao & Liu 1977, Vinokurov 1979, Zhou 1985, Kanyukova 1988, Nonnaizab 1988, Zhang & Sie 1992, Lin & Zhang 1993, Tomokuni 1993, Lin 1995, Vinokurov & Kanyukova 1995, Bu & Zheng 1997, Lin et al. 1999, Yamamoto & Hayashi 2012) and immatures (Lin 1995, Kobayashi & Tachikawa 2004), host plant records and other information on various aspects of its bionomics (Josifov & Kerzhner 1978, Kerzhner 1978, Zheng & Gao 1990, Lin & Zhang 1993, Tomokuni 1993, Chen et al. 1995, Lin 1995, Lin et al. 1999, Kobayashi & Tachikawa 2004, Yamamoto et al. 2009), agricultural importance (Lin 1995) and even physiology (Hori 1972). Particularly the remarkable reproductive behaviour of the species was a subject of a detailed research (Kudo et al. 1989, Kudo 1990a – c, 2000, 2001); this information has been cited in comprehensive handbooks on general insect ecology and behaviour (Costa 2006, Trumbo 2012). The species was selected to represent Acanthosomatidae in a cladistic analysis of pentatomoidean families (Xu 1993). It was included in a molecular study on the phylogenetic relationships of various acanthosomatids and coevolution with their gut symbiotic bacteria (Kikuchi et al. 2009); its mitochondrial gene of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtDNA-COI) is available from GenBank (AB368845.1). The species name has been cited in comprehensive reference books on Heteroptera (Schuh & Slater 1995), handbooks on agricultural and forestry entomology (Wu 1984, Lin 1995, Hori 2000) and popular insect books and field guides targeting a wide public (Kawasawa & Kawamura 1975, Tomokuni 1993, Kwon & Huh 1998, Kinota 2006, Yamamoto & Hayashi 2012).

In contrast with E. dorsalis, no authors were able to identify E. vicinum correctly since its original description (Uhler 1861). As a consequence, much less papers used the senior specific epithet vicinum in combination with different generic names, and all but one of them were checklists and catalogues providing only secondary data based on the original description, most of them explicitly listing the species as of unknown identity (Stål 1876, Lethierry & Severin 1893, Kirkaldy 1909, Hoffmann 1932, Wu 1933, Hoffmann 1935, Hsiao & Liu 1977, Hua 2000). The single exception is the contribution by Kumar (1974), who reexamined a single male syntype (designated as lectotype), provided highly inaccurate drawings of the pronotum and the metapleuron, and established a new monotypic genus, Grossaria, for it (see also discussion about the generic level synonymy above). As a result of the poor illustrations and the incorrect and misleading description based on the defective lectotype no subsequent authors could recognize this species after Kumar (1974) and the genus and the species have never been cited except the taxonomic catalogue by Göllner-Scheiding (2006).

We believe that changing the prevailing usage of the name of this species simply because of adherence to the Principle of Priority is undesirable and would threaten stability. The number and authorship of the works using the junior name meet the conditions of Article 23.9.1.2., but the senior name was used as a valid name after 1899 therefore the ‘automatic’ conservation of E. dorsalis under Article 23.9.2 is not possible. Therefore, no nomenclatural change is proposed in this paper, but an application has simultaneously been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to give the specific name dorsalis precedence over the specific name vicinum under the provision of Article 23.9.3.
