We support the request by ) that the senior name, Simulium posticatum Meigen, 1838, should retain precedence over the junior name 5". austeni Edwards, 1915. In our recent pubHcations and reports on ecological studies relating to this species we have adopted the nomenclatural change proposed by Zwick & Crosskey (1981).

We urge the Commission to reject the application of Rubtsov .
