| Memo: | Nye (1975) stated:- An unjustified emendation of Omoptera Guérin-Méneville, [1832]. Homoptera was attributed by Guenée to 'Bdv. Icon. du règne anim.?' There was no demonstrably intentional change of spelling by Guenée so Homoptera should strictly be treated as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Omoptera. However, for about sixty years following Guenée, Homoptera was in general use and has been used in the binomen of many new species. A case should be submitted to the commission requesting the use of tbe Plenary Powers so that Homoptera Guenée, 1852, may continue to be treated as an unjustified emendation. For the last sixty years Homoptera has been placed as a junior subjective synonym of Zale Hübner, 1818. See: OMOPTERA Guérin-Ménéville, [1832]. |
