Varichaetadrilus pacificus: Comments
Comment:
Originally described as Varichaeta pacifica by Brinkhurst (1981), It was later discovered that the name Varichaeta was preoccupied (Varichaeta Speiser, 1903 in Diptera), so Brinkhurst and Kathman (1983) established the name Varichaetadrilus for the three known species at that time -- Varichaetadrilus pacificus (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination (type species), Varichaetadrilus nevadana (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination, and Varichaetadrilus israelis (Brinkhurst, 1965) new combination (a non-North American species)
