Abstract

The intent of this note is to briefly describe the objective circumstances asso-ciated with a primary homonym, making a nomenclatural change necessary. Anew name is proposed for a subspecies of grasshopper (Acridoidea: Dericory-thidae: Dericorythinae) from Africa. The name Dericorys escalerai descampsi,nom. nov.is proposed as a replacement name, in honor of the work of the emi-nent orthopterist, Marius Descamps.
