Abstract:
The names of three genus-level taxa of Cetoniinae from Southeast Asia are reviewed. Aurelia Thomson, 1880, currently a subgenus of Ixorida Thomson, 1880, is preoccupied by Aurelia Lamarck, 1816, and Emas Allsopp, Jákl & Rey, new replacement name, is proposed. This results in Ixorida (Emas) decorata Antoine, 1986, Ixorida (Emas) gloriosa Jákl, 2014, Ixorida (Emas) kaorui Jákl, 2019, Ixorida (Emas) philippei Sakai & Nagai, 1998, and Ixorida (Emas) thoracica (Wallace, 1867). Legrandia Jákl, 2019, currently a subgenus of Ruteraetia Krikken, 1980, is preoccupied by Legrandia Beddome, 1883, and Legrandetia Allsopp, Jákl & Rey, new replacement name is proposed, resulting in Ruteraetia (Legrandetia) pahangensis Jákl, 2019. Sternoplus Wallace, 1867 is preoccupied by Sternoplus Mulsant & Rey, 1864, and Walsternoplus Allsopp, Jákl & Rey, new replacement name is proposed, resulting in Walsternoplus schaumii (White, 1856), new combination, and Walsternoplus chicheryi (Antoine, 1999), new combination.

Common Names of Aldehydes and Ketones
Common names of aldehydes are derived from the names of their corresponding acid. For instance, the two-carbon aldehyde–acetaldehyde derives its name from the corresponding acid–acetic acid. Similarly, formaldehyde derives its name from formic acid and benzaldehyde from benzoic acid.

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with a Single Substituent
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
