From editor or global species database
Type species Tabachnick (1990: 151) mentioned Poliopogon gigas Schulze, 1887 when he erected the genus, so this is eligible as type species. It was confirmed later (Tabachnick, 2002: 1274), misspelling the type species name as Poliopogon giagas Schulze, 1886, stating this was the type species by monotypy. However, the 1990 article contains the description of a new subspecies ssp. spinosum Tabachnick, 1990 (genus name misspelled as Shulzeviella), inferring there had to be also a nominotypical subspecies P.gigas ssp. gigas. The monotypy designation technically is then a subsequent designation. The subspecies spinosum was later (2002) reassigned to the nominotypical subspecies and the species is thus monotypical and the correct type species is indeed P. gigas. Despite the misspellings and rather irregular type species designation, we deem this correct. [details]
