Abstract

SAN BLAS, German; FICHETI, Patricia; BARRIONUEVO, María José  and  MURUA, Gabriela. Amendment of a typo: Spodoptera cosmioides vs. Spodoptera cosmiodes (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2022, vol.81, n.3, pp.52-53.  Epub June 24, 2022. ISSN 0373-5680.

The scientific name of the “black armyworm” (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) has historically been spelled in two different ways: S. cosmioides or S. cosmiodes, which could lead to errors and inaccuracies. Here we establish that the correct spelling is S. cosmioides, as originally written by the author, principally based on the absence of evidence that suggests that no error has been made in the original publication.
