The revision of family Eupterotidae (Bombycoidea) is very less reviewed and studied by various entomologists around the globe. Later, family name was reinstated, synonymized or re-described and remain as a mystery. The purpose of this manuscript is to know about the current status of family Eupterotidae in the present scenario. This paper is providing the review, classification, economic significance of this family along with detailed remarks on two genus namely Eupterote and Apona with special reference to their wing venation and external genitalia of their type species.

Group Relationships

The small lacewing genus Apertochrysa comprises species from Africa, Asia and Australia. All lack a tignum, but otherwise resemble distantly related genera. We show that Apertochrysa does not form a monophyletic clade, based on analyses of molecular sequence data and morphological traits such as the presence and shape of the male gonapsis, wing venation, and larval setae. Apertochrysa kichijoi forms a clade with Eremochrysa, Suarius and Chrysemosa, whereas A. albolineatoides belongs to a clade that includes Cunctochrysa. Apertochrysa albolineatoides should become a new combination as Cunctochrysa albolineatoides, while A. kichijoi will have to be transferred to a new genus. The Australian A. edwardsi, the African A. eurydera and the type species of the genus Apertochrysa, A. umbrosa, join the large Pseudomallada group. Relationships of A. umbrosa are less certain, because for it we could amplify only one of the three nuclear genes used in the overall analysis. However, in all morphological traits tested, that species strongly resembles A. edwardsi and A. eurydera and thus is very likely just another exceptional Pseudomallada lacking a tignum. The fate of the genus name Apertochrysa depends on additional molecular and morphological analyses of A. umbrosa.

Thermomicrobium fosteri Phillips and Perry 1976 was included on the Approved List of Bacterial Names with the type strain designated ATCC 29033. However, this strain is no longer directly listed in the ATCC online catalogue and the only reference to ATCC 29033 is under ATCC 35268, a strain of Thermoleophilum minutum Zarilla and Perry 1986. There currently appears to be no formal documentation in the pages of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology with regards either the current status of the name Thermomicrobium fosteri Phillips and Perry 1976 or its type strain ATCC 29033.

New Synonymy

We list 117 genus-group names of Diptera that were proposed after 1930 with diagnoses and more than one included species but without type species designations and review their current status. Research into the earliest proposals making the names available resulted in one new synonymy: Breviculala Ito, 1949 = Pseudacidia Munro, 1935, n. syn. (Tephritidae), the discovery of a number of earlier designations, and the recognition of available genus-group names previously thought to be nomina nuda. Discussion is made concerning type designations in the Zoological Record and type fixations by monotypy for genus-group names proposed after 1930 without a type species designation.

This short communication addresses the problem associated with the current taxonomic status of the prehistoric edentate genus Neocnus Arredondo, 1961 (with type species Micronocnus gliriformis Matthew, 1931) which has long been considered a senior homonym of the dendrochirotid sea cucumber genus Neocnus Cherbonnier, 1972 (type species Neocnus incubans Cherbonnier, 1972) and replaces the latter (junior homonym) with Incubocnus n.g. The diagnosis of the new genus is the same as the cucumariid Neocnus as amended by O’Loughlin & O’Hara (1992). A brief history of the senior homonym Neocnus (Edentata) is given followed by a short literature survey dealing with its junior homonym.

World List

The Diptera genus-group names of Johann Wilhelm Meigen are reviewed, revised, and annotated. A total of 266 available genus-group names in 69 families of Diptera are listed alphabetically, including authorship, year and page of the original publication, originally included species, type species and method of fixation, current status of the name, family placement, and any emendations that have been found in the literature. Unavailable names suppressed by ICZN rulings as well as incorrect original and subsequent spellings are included as unnumbered entries. Remarks are given to clarify nomenclatural or taxonomic information. In addition, an index to all the species-group names of Diptera proposed by Meigen (3,117 in total, of which 2,966 are available) is given with a bibliographic reference to each original citation. An appendix gives a complete bibliography of all the known published writings by Meigen, non-zoological as well as zoological.                The following type species designation is proposed: Dasypogon priscus Meigen, 1820 for Podoctria Meigen, 1820, by present designation [Asilidae].                First Reviser actions for multiple original spellings that have not previously been recognized (viz., those made via ICZN Code Art. 24.2.4) or are made herein are given for the following: Chrysotus Meigen, 1824 [Dolichopodidae]; Ocydromia Meigen, 1820 [Hybotidae]; Rhamphomyia Meigen, 1822 [Empididae]; Tachypeza Meigen, 1830a [Hybotidae].                Earlier valid subsequent type-species designations have been found for the following: Ascia Meigen, 1822 [Syrphidae]; Borborus Meigen, 1803 [Sphaeroceridae]; Brachygaster Meigen, 1826 [Sepsidae]; Cephalia Meigen, 1826 [Ulidiidae]; Chrysotus Meigen, 1824 [Dolichopodidae]; Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 [Tipulidae]; Diastata Meigen, 1830a [Diastatidae]; Doros Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Erioptera Meigen, 1803 [Limoniidae]; Glochina Meigen, 1830a [Limoniidae]; Macrocera Meigen, 1803 [Keroplatidae]; Merodon Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Mesembrina Meigen, 1826 [Muscidae]; Mycetobia Meigen, 1818a [Anisopodidae]; Odontomyia Meigen, 1803 [Stratiomyidae]; Oedalea Meigen, 1820 [Hybotidae]; Phania Meigen, 1824 [Tachinidae]; Platypeza Meigen, 1803 [Platypezidae]; Platyptera Meigen, 1803 [Empididae]; Platyura Meigen, 1803 [Keroplatidae]; Spilomyia Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Stegana Meigen, 1830a [Drosophilidae]; Trineura Meigen, 1803 [Phoridae]; Ulidia Meigen, 1826 [Ulidiidae]; Xysta Meigen, 1824 [Tachinidae].                The following type species are fixed herein under ICZN Code Article 70.3.2: Rhagio ibis Fabricius, 1775 for Atherix Meigen, 1803 [Athericidae]; Coelopa pilipes Haliday, 1838 for Coelopa Meigen, 1803 [Coelopidae]; Diastata vagans Loew, 1864 for Diastata Meigen, 1803 [Diastatidae]; Tanypus punctipennis Meigen, 1818a for Tanypus Meigen, 1803 [Chironomidae]. Corrected or clarified nomenclatural status, included species, and/or corrected or clarified type-species are given for: Acrocera Meigen, 1803 [Acroceridae]; Aedes Meigen, 1818a [Culicidae]; Anisomera Meigen, 1818a [Limoniidae]; Ascia Meigen, 1822 [Syrphidae]; Atherix Meigen, 1803 [Athericidae]; Bactria Meigen, 1820 [Asilidae]; Bolitophila Meigen, 1818a [Bolitophilidae]; Borborus Meigen, 1803 [Chloropidae]; Brachygaster Meigen, 1826 [Sepsidae]; Cephalia Meigen, 1826 [Ulidiidae]; Chlorops Meigen, 1803 [Chloropidae]; Chrysotoxum Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Chrysotus Meigen, 1824 [Dolichopodidae]; Coelopa Meigen, 1830a [Coelopidae]; Ctenophora Meigen, 1803 [Tipulidae]; Dialyta Meigen, 1826 [Muscidae]; Diastata Meigen, 1830a [Diastatidae]; Dictya Meigen, 1803 [Sciomyzidae]; Diomyza Meigen, 1818a [Cecidomyiidae]; Doros Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Dorycera Meigen, 1830a [Ulidiidae]; Erioptera Meigen, 1803 [Limoniidae]; Furcomyia Meigen, 1818a [Limoniidae]; Glochina Meigen, 1830a [Limoniidae]; Hexacantha Meigen, 1803 [Stratiomyidae]; Hexatoma Meigen, 1818a [Tabanidae]; Lasiops Meigen, 1838 [Muscidae]; Leptina Meigen, 1822 [Tipulidae]; Leptocera Meigen, 1818a [Bolitophilidae]; Leucopis Meigen, 1830a, [Chamaemyiidae]; Loxocera Meigen, 1803 [Psilidae]; Macrocera Meigen, 1803 [Keroplatidae]; Marginomyia Meigen, 1818a [Limoniidae]; Merodon Meigen, 1803 [Syrphidae]; Mesembrina Meigen, 1826 [Muscidae]; Mima Meigen, 1820 [Bombyliidae]; Mycetobia Meigen, 1818a [Anisopodidae]; Nematocera Meigen, 1818a [Limoniidae]; Nodutis Meigen, 1820 [Athericidae]; Odontomyia Meigen, 1803 [Stratiomyidae]; Oedalea Meigen, 1820 [Hybotidae]; Pelecocera Meigen, 1822 [Syrphidae]; Phalangus Meigen, 1822 [Syrphidae]; Phania Meigen, 1824 [Tachinidae]; Platypeza Meigen, 1803 [Platypezidae]; Platyptera Meigen, 1803 [Empididae]; Platyura Meigen, 1803 [Keroplatidae]; Podoctria Meigen, 1820 [Asilidae]; Psilopus Meigen, 1824 [Dolichopodidae]; Sarcophaga Meigen, 1824 [Sarcophagidae]; Stegana Meigen, 1830a [Drosophilidae]; Subula Meigen, 1820 [Xylomyidae]; Tanyglossa Meigen, 1803 [Tabanidae]; Tanypus Meigen, 1803 [Chironomidae]; Therina Meigen, 1830a [Heleomyzidae]; Trineura Meigen, 1803 [Phoridae]; Ulidia Meigen, 1826 [Ulidiidae]; Unomyia Meigen, 1818a [Limoniidae]; Xylota Meigen, 1822 [Syrphidae]; Xysta Meigen, 1824 [Tachinidae].                New synonymies are proposed for the following genus-group names: Melanopangonius Szilády, 1923 under Tanyglossa Meigen, 1803, n. syn.

The molluscan taxa named by George Perry in his two publications, the Arcana; or the museum of natural history:, etc., published in 1810–1811, and the Conchology of 1811 are listed with notations on their current status, some figures being identified to the species level for the first time, some being placed in the synonymy of earlier names and others declared nomina dubia. Five species that are identified as previously unused senior subjective synonyms of names in current usage and one unused senior primary homonym are declared nomina oblita. Those declared herein to be nomina oblita are: Triplex cornuta Perry, 1811; Buccinella quadrata Perry, 1811; Cassis rotundata Perry, 1811; Aranea tentacula Perry, 1811; Buccinella tuberculata Perry, 1811; and Solen viride [sic; correctly viridis]. The names conserved are, respectively: Murex brevifrons Lamarck, 1822; Cancellaria spengleriana Deshayes, 1830; Cassis madagascariensis Lamarck, 1822; Murex cabritii Bernardi, 1859; Turbinella [now Vasum] globulus Lamarck, 1816; and Solen viridis Say, 1822.Three Perry species are shown to be senior synonyms of names in current use but do not qualify for nomen oblitum status under the Code. They are: Tellina aurea Perry, 1811; Triplex rosaria Perry, 1811; and Voluta pattersonia Perry, 1811. Junior subjective synonyms affected by these three are, respectively: Tellina vulsella Hanley, 1845; Chicoreus palmarosae (Lamarck, 1822); and Lyria nucleus (Lamarck, 1811). Type species designations for Perry’s genera are listed and type species are designated for Columna and Strigula. The treatment of Perry’s Conchology by other authors is discussed. Three distinct editions of the Conchology are identified. Perry’s Arcana is the subject of another paper now in preparation but its mollusks are treated herein.

Female External Genitalia

Characters of external genitalia are considered as one of the important criteria to understand the taxonomy of insects.  In the present study, various taxonomic characters of the male and female external genitalia and wing venation of six species under the genus Junonia Hübner viz., orythia (Linnaeus, 1758), iphita (Cramer, [1779]), almana (Linnaeus, 1758), lemonias (Linnaeus, 1758), hierta (Fabricius, 1798), atlites (Linnaeus, 1763), have been described and illustrated in detail.  Besides, brief diagnoses and identification keys based on external genitalia, morphological variations and taxonomic remarks have been given for all taxa.
