as Attagenus melitensis [sic] —
Pic requests to correct Attagenus maltensis to A. melitensis ("Lire Attagenus melitensis au lieu de maltensis"). Under ICZN rules, this constitutes an unjustified emendation of the original A. maltensis, which was published five months prior (p. 66).

as Attagenus tigrinus —
"Through the study of the type material of Attagenus maltensis Pic and recently collected material from Malta, it was possible to synonymize this species with A. tigrinus (Fabricius). All morphological characters studied in the material available proved to be identical (elytra of maltensis covered by more dense yellowish pubescence). The colour variability and patterns on elytra, antennae and aedeagus are illustrated in Figs 1-6."
