Xing, Jichun & Chen, Xiangsheng, 2013, Two new replacement names for the planthopper genera in Dictyopharidae (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha), ZooKeys 309, pp. 66-69 : 67-68

Genus Emeljanovina nom. n.

Glochina Emeljanov, 2011: 320 ( Hemiptera : Fulgoroidea : Dictyopharidae ). Preoccupied by Meigen 1830: 280 ( Diptera : Tipuloidea : Limoniidae ).

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.
