Introduction
Wei, Zhang & Zhou (2014) described the dolichopodid species Chrysotus infirmus from Guizhou Province, China. However, the scientific name was preoccupied by Chrysotus infirmus Parent, 1933. Thus, the scientific name Chrysotus infirmus Wei, Zhang & Zhou, 2014 is a junior primary homonym of the species Chrysotus infirmus Parent, 1933. According to Article 60.3 and 57.2 of the ICZN, the new replacement name Chrysotus weii Zhou, nom. n. for Chrysotus infirmus Wei, Zhang & Zhou, 2014 is proposed.
