Batocera armata is a species of flat-faced longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae of the family Cerambycidae.[1] [2] While originally named as "Cerambyx thomae" by Voet in 1778, no name was validly published for this species until 1800; Voet's 1778 work fails to fulfill the requirement in ICZN Article 11.4 that a work must be consistently binomial, and all names within that work are unavailable.[3]
