Abstract
Walteriella Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta & Scholz, 2019 was found to be a junior homonym of Walteriella Kazantsev, 2001 (Coleoptera: Cantharidae), also known as soldier beetles, and is replaced by Boegeriella nom. nov. (Dactylogyridae). The two species originally included into the genus, Walteriella conica Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta & Scholz, 2019 (type-species) and Walteriella ophiocirrus Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta & Scholz, 2019, are transferred as Boegeriella conica (Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta & Scholz, 2019) n. comb. and Boegeriella ophiocirrus (Mendoza-Palmero, Mendoza-Franco, Acosta & Scholz, 2019) n. comb.
