Timomenus komarowi, is a species of earwig in the family Forficulidae.[1] In several publications, the species name was miswritten as Timomenus komarovi in several later publications, which per ICZN 33.3, is an incorrect subsequent spelling. An argument could be made for prevailing usage, but Storozhenko & Paik, 2009 instead advocated for adoption of the original spelling.[2]
