Libumia Stal, 1866 (Insecta, Hemiptera, DELPHACIDAE): proposed designation of Embolophova monoceros Stal, 1855 as the type species

摘要

The purpose of this application, under Article 69 of the Code, is to fix the type species of the delphacid planthopper genus Libumia Stal, 1866 as Embolophora monoceros Stal, 1855,, Libumia has had three type species designated, all of which are currently type species of other genera. Fixation of Embolophora monoceros Stal, 1855 as a type species for Libumia will make Libumia Stal, 1866 a junior objective synonym of Embolophora Stal, 1853, which is necessary to alleviate past confusion and prevent future reinterpretation of the genus.
