Hybosorus roei(=syn.illigeri)

But according to this revision (Kuijten, 1983) H. roei is junior synonym of H. illiger:

Is there any other more recent publication where H. roei elevated to the valid species level and H.illiger is considered as its synonym?

Same old blues: according to the Opinion 2230 of the I.C.Z.N. (2009), wherever H. illigeri and H. roei are considered synonyms, the precedence is to be given to the latter.
But maybe something is moving with the publication of the second edition of the Palaearctic Catalogue.

Thank you a lot Creedence, than Ivo is right, H. illiger is the synonym of H. roei.
