Equetus Rafinesque [C. S.] 1815:86 Masc. Eques americanus Bloch 1793. Type by being a replacement name. As "Equetus R. [Rafinesque] Eques Bl. [Bloch]." Unnecessary replacement name for Eques Bloch 1793 (allegedly preoccupied by Eques Linnaeus 1758 in Lepidoptera, which is unavailable according to Parenti 2020:17 [ref. 37439]).
