Nomenclatorial changes in the family Cixiidae (Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Fulgoroidea), with fixation of type species of the genus Reptalus Emeljanov, 1971 and description of a new subgenus
A. F. Emeljanov
Abstract
New name, Caravellita, is proposed to replace Caravella Emeljanov, 2007, nomen praeoccupatum. Proreptalus Emeljanov, 2015 is placed in synonymy under Reptalus Emeljanov, 1971. Pererepa, subgen. nov. is erected for Oliarus quadricinctus Matsumura, 1914 in the genus Reptalus Emeljanov, 1971. Flata artemisiae Becker, 1865 is validated and fixed as type species of the genus Reptalus Emeljanov following the Article 70.3 of the ICZN, while Oliarus quinquecostatus Fieber, 1872 (non Cixius quenquicostatus Dufour, 1833) is supposed to be misidentification of F. artemisiae Becker. Key to subgenera of Reptalus is given.
