contents FIGURE 5. Hope's vacillation. Hope (1837) vacillated about which name, spelling, and ranking to be applied to his new Australian genus-group taxon containing Fabricius's Scarabaeus hollandiae. (A) In his table of Fabrician scarabs on page 34, he assigned the species to the would-be new genus Anisodon Hope. (B) In the text on page 55, however, he not only said the taxon was actually a subgenus of Ateuchus, but that the proposed name was Tesserodon, shifting the reference from the shape of the clypeal teeth to their number. (C) In the figure plate illustrating the hollandiae type from the Banks collection, a new change and Tesserodon is now treated as a genus (and the specific name is the two-word version from 1775 instead of the one-word modification from 1781 as cited in the table and text). (D) Finally, in the errata list, Hope adds a further modification: the name is neither Anisodon nor Tesserodon, but Tessarodon. See the text for the resolution of this conundrum.
