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 (type genus Microcentrus ) (Insecta, Hemiptera, Membracidae) and Microcentrini (type genus Microcentrum ) (Insecta, Orthoptera, Phaneropteridae), by emending of the former to Microcentrusini . 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 () will become Microcentrusini, thus resolving the homonymy.
