Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The insect name Polycarmes is invalid, being a junior homonym. Its valid replacement name is Acanthidiellum, with two New Caledonian species now reclassified under this genus.
Area Of Science
- Entomology
- Taxonomy
- Insecta classification
Background
- The genus name Polycarmes Stål, 1868, is currently used for two New Caledonian Pentatomidae species.
- Polycarmes Stål, 1868, is a junior homonym of Polycarmes Gistel, 1834 (Coleoptera).
Purpose Of The Study
- To address the invalidity of the genus name Polycarmes for Pentatomidae.
- To propose a valid substitute name and reclassify the affected species.
Main Methods
- Taxonomic revision based on homonymy rules.
- Nomenclatural analysis of relevant genera and species.
- Proposal of new combinations.
Main Results
- Polycarmes Stål, 1868, is invalidated due to homonymy with Polycarmes Gistel, 1834.
- Acanthidiellum Kirkaldy, 1904, is identified as the valid substitute name.
- Two species, formerly in Polycarmes, are newly combined under Acanthidiellum: A. armigerum and A. punctatissimum.
Conclusions
- The genus name Polycarmes is unavailable for the studied Pentatomidae.
- Acanthidiellum is the correct genus name for these two species.
- A. armigerum is designated taxon incertae sedis, while A. punctatissimum is redescribed with a photograph.

Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by the presence of carbon-carbon triple bonds and have a general formula CnH2n-2. The nomenclature of alkynes follows a set of rules similar to alkanes and alkenes; however, alkynes bear the suffix "-yne" instead of "-ane" or "-ene." There are two approaches to naming alkynes:
• IUPAC names
• Common names
IUPAC nomenclature
The IUPAC naming system follows a systematic approach to deduce names of alkynes based on their chemical...
Classification is the process of organizing organisms into hierarchically inclusive groups based on their phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships. A species comprises one or more strains, and closely related species are grouped into genera. Genera are further classified into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so forth, up to the domain level, which is the broadest taxonomic rank derived from a combination of phenotypic and genotypic data.The nomenclature of...
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...
Alveolates are a group of organisms recognized by the presence of alveoli, which are cytoplasmic sacs located beneath the cell membrane. While their function remains uncertain, alveoli may help regulate water balance by controlling how much water enters and leaves the cell. In dinoflagellates, these structures may serve as armor plates. There are three major types of alveolates: ciliates, which move using cilia; dinoflagellates, which use flagella for movement; and apicomplexans, which are...
Primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are compounds consisting of one, two, and three alkyl groups connected to the amino group (–NH2), respectively. As depicted in Figure 1, the common name of the primary amines is obtained by adding the suffix -amine to the alkyl substituent attached to the amino group as the corresponding alkylamine.

In IUPAC nomenclature for primary amines, the final -e of the parent alkane is...
Coryneform bacteria are gram-positive, aerobic, nonmotile rods that exhibit irregular, club-shaped, or V-shaped arrangements. Their V-shape results from snapping division, where the inner cell wall layer forms the cross-wall, while the outer layer remains intact until it ruptures on one side, causing the daughter cells to bend away.The primary genera are Corynebacterium and Arthrobacter. Corynebacterium includes diverse species, ranging from saprophytes to pathogens like Corynebacterium...
