Genus
Emeljanovina
nom. n.
Glochina
Emeljanov, 2011: 320 (
Hemiptera
:
Fulgoroidea
:
Dictyopharidae
). Preoccupied by Meigen 1830
: 280 (

Type species.
Dictyophara dixoni
Distant, 1906.
Remarks on nomenclatural change.
Emeljanov (2011)
established the planthopper genus
Glochina
with the type species
Dictyophara dixoni
Distant, 1906. So far, this genus includes only type species. It is used as a valid generic name. Unfortunately, the name
Glochina
Emeljanov (2011) was preoccupied by
Glochina
Meigen (1830), a subgenus
Dicranomyia (Glochina)
Meigen, 1830 in
Limoniidae
(
Diptera
:
Tipuloidea
) based on type species
Glochina sericata
Meigen, 1830. Thus, the genus
Glochina
Emeljanov, 2011 is a junior homonym of the subgenus
Dicranomyia (Glochina)
Meigen, 1830. According to Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, we propose a new replacement name
Emeljanovina
nom. n. for
Glochina
Emeljanov, 2011.
Etymology
. The genus from A. F. Emeljanov who is the author of the preexisting
Glochina
; gender feminine.
Summary of nomenclatural changes.
Emeljanovina
new replacement name =
Glochina
Emeljanov, 2011 (nec
Meigen 1830
)
Emeljanovina dixoni
(Distant, 1906) comb. n. =
Glochina dixoni
(Distant, 1906) =
Dictyophara dixoni
Distant, 1906.
