Taxonomy
Linnaeus called the European cockchafer Scarabaeus melolontha. Carl Linnaeus (Latinized as Carolus Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as, May 23 new style (13 May old style 1707 who laid the foundations for Geoffroy St Hilaire used Melolontha as a genus name (1762), but his book has been suppressed by the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature, and the authority for the name is the later (1775) publication by Fabricius [1]. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is a set of rules in Zoology that have one fundamental aim to provide the maximum universality and continuity in the naming Johan Christian Fabricius ( January 7, 1745 - March 3, 1808) was a Danish Entomologist and economist
