Ten genera of Physoderina from the Oriental Region are diagnosed and described, and twenty six species representing eight genera (Paraphaea Bates, Anchista Nietner, Metallanchista gen. n., Diamella nom. n., Allocota Motschulsky, Orionella Jedlička, Endynomena Chaudoir and Dasiosoma Britton (Oriental species only)) are revised. Keys to genera and species are provided, along with distribution map...

The classification of the superfamily Psylloidea is revised to incorporate findings from recent molecular studies, and integrate a reassessment monophyla primarily based on data with morphological evidence previous classifications. We reinterpretation relevant morphology in light discuss conflicts respect different sources sampling strategies. Seven families are recognised which four (Calophyid...

Recently, a proposal was published to amend the Shenzhen Code (Turland & al. in Regnum Veg. 159. 2018) permit binding decision on valid publication under Art. 38.4 when it is doubtful whether an illustration with analysis acceptable place of description or diagnosis (Prop. 076, Pastore Taxon 70: 456. 2021). Now we have similar not indirect cryptic reference basionym replaced synonym sufficient ...

Marphysa simplex is a name that three species bear within the same genus, but each has different authority and morphological characteristics. This homonymy condition leads to taxonomic confusion finite designation of name-bearing imperative. The current study focuses on two identified as M. Crossland, 1903 Treadwell, 1922 third one, recently considered secondary homonymy, (Langerhans, 1884), al...

Many early taxonomic works on North American bees were published by Europeans using specimens collected in the New World, some with type locations so imprecise that uncertainty nomenclatural status remains to this day. Two examples come from Fabricius (1745–1808) who described Andrena virescens Fabricius, 1775 and Apis viridula 1793 “America” “Boreal America”, respectively. The former species o...

Acromegalomma, nomen novum, is introduced as a replacement name for the polychaete genus Megalomma Johansson, 1926 (Annelida, Sabellidae), preoccupied by Megalomma Westwood, 1842 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae). The historical background of the homonymy and a full list with 36 new combinations in the new genus are included, while two species are considered as species inquirenda.

The alpine scarab beetle Aphodius (Agolius) kozlovi was described from Eastern Tibet, China from the materials collected by the Central Asian expedition (1899–1901) led by Petr Kuz’mich Kozlov (Frolov 2009). The new species was named after Kozlov, but I had overlooked Aphodius (Acrossidius) kozlovi Koshantschikov, 1916. Hence, Aphodius (Agolius) petri, new name is here proposed as a replacement...
