Hi Heidi It is needed to fix the name of Timomenus komarowi on DSF, which is misspleed as T. komarovi. https://dermaptera.speciesfile.org/otus/888886/overview lists the species name as Timomenus komarovi (=Opisthocosmia komarovi Semenov, 1901) and references "Semenov, A. (1901) Russkoe entomologiceskoe obozrenie (= Revue Russe d'Entomologie), 1, 98." but viewing the scanned page of original description provided in Latin here: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/43723#page/122/mode/1up the name is spelled with W as Opisthocosmia komarowi. There is paper by Russian entomologist Yuri Storozhenko about this issue: Storozhenko SYu & Paik JC (2009) The correct name of Timomenus komarowi (Semenov, 1901) (Dermaptera: Forficulidae, Opisthocosmiinae) with lectotypification. Far Eastern Entomologist, 199: 7-8. Paper is available here both in English and Russian: https://www.biosoil.ru/FEE/Publication/284 This missplelling was already fixed on iNaturalist but unfortunately still persists on DSF may be because it is present in Steinmann books as well. Kind regards, Boris

Thank you Boris. I have origin or error as Wu 1935. That 2009 paper very helpful!
