Abstract: | The purpose of this application, under Article 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove the homonymy between the family-group names Microcentrini Deitz, 1975 (type genus Microcentrus Stål, 1869) (Insecta, Hemiptera, Membracidae) and Microcentrini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878 (type genus Microcentrum Scudder, 1862) (Insecta, Orthoptera, Phaneropteridae), by emending of the former to Microcentrusini Deitz, 1975. These two family-group names are based on similar but not identical type-genus names. It is proposed herein that the entire generic name Microcentrus be adopted as the grammatical stem, so the family-group name of Deitz (1975) will become Microcentrusini, thus resolving the homonymy. |
