“…This is an "Achilles heel" of modern nomenclature. Multiple efforts were done towards a resolving of higher taxa problem, rule-or database-based (Reveal 2008;Shipunov 2009;Kluge, 2010 and his earlier Russian publications; Dubois, 2011a and his other publications) but the current Codes still almost completely ignore the problem.…”

Hemihomonyms (same nomina which are used for taxa from different nomenclature jurisdictions) are an overlooked but genuine nuisance in biological nomenclature. We compiled the first list of hemihomonyms for nomina in bacteriological, botanical and zoological nomenclatures and prepared an on-line database, the "Hemihomonym database" or HHDB (). HHDB now includes 1164 nomina, including 12 triple hemihomonyms. A simple suffix-based solution (like "Oenanthe (z)" for Oenanthe in zoology) could be used in case of hemihomonymy. More effort should be afforded towards the resolution of long-standing nomenclature confusing situations such as hemihomonymy, including regarding the nomina of higher taxa, nomina of intermediate ranks and ambiregnal nomina.

“…To solve this problem, I have developed a rank-free nomenclature or, to be more precise, a dual nomenclature system which allows an unlimited number of taxa distributed over an unlimited number of hierarchical levels to be given monosemantic names that do not contradict either the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature or the traditional usage of higher-taxa names (Kluge, 1999a(Kluge, , 1999b(Kluge, , 2000(Kluge, , 2009a(Kluge, , 2010c.

Cladoendesis and a new look at the evolution of insect metamorphosis

Cladoendesis is a method of phylogeny analysis opposed to various matrix methods. In contrast to matrix methods, in cladoendesis phylogenetic trees are not built each time as new ones, but are reconstructed based on the previous results. Each character of each taxon is compared with its ancestral condition in the ground-plan of the higher taxon. The revealed part of the phylogeny is represented in a form of hierarchical classification. In addition to the principles of natural classification elaborated by C. Linnaeus, P.-A. Latreille, and others, evolutionary theory elaborated by Ch. Darwin and others, and principles of phylogenetic systematics elaborated by W. Hennig and others, cladoendesis includes rank-free dual nomenclature system (DualNom) and advanced method of text layout elaborated by the author. Important components of cladoendesis are the use of the term "plesiomorphon" and taking into account such important evolutionary events as conservation and deconservation of characters. Cladoendesis allowed the author to make comprehensive revision of the phylogeny of Ephemeroptera, find homology in the structure of the maxillae of adult Aphaniptera, larval maxillae of Neuropteroidea-Birostrata, larval legs of Nannomecoptera, and genital parts of some insect taxa. It also allows understanding the nature and evolution of insect metamorphosis. It is generally believed that initially insect ontogenesis proceeds the shortest way, while such phenomena as substitutions of organs by means of their atrophy and subsequent restoring are secondary. In contrast to this, the flagellum of the antenna of Amyocerata initially grows by addition of proximal segments and simultaneous loss of distal ones; in many taxa, including Metabola (insects with complete metamorphosis), distal segments are not aborted. Some authors tried to explain the origin of complete metamorphosis by various reasons: ecological, morphogenetic, or others. This approach is wrong because all insects with complete metamorphosis constitute the holophyletic taxon Metabola Burmeister 1832, i.e., originate from a single ancestral species which acquired this kind of metamorphosis. If complete metamorphosis could appear in response to some factor, it would appear many times in different species, in which case the taxon Metabola, characterized by complete metamorphosis, would be polyphyletic. The holophyly of Metabola is well proven by cladoendesis but cannot be revealed by any matrix method. Based on understanding of these facts, the author was able to discover the specific features which appeared in the common ancestor of Metabola and then became conserved and were inherited by all its descendants. These features include loss of the scape in the larval antenna (leading to a peculiar transformation of antennae in metamorphosis) and a peculiar mode of leg transformation during molt from larva to pupa. During the larval/pupal molt, the leg loses musculature and gets an immobile knee bend, so that the pupa is unable to use its legs. This conserved feature determines th...

The Sternorrhyncha, which comprise about 18,700 described recent species, is a suborder of the Hemiptera, one of big five most diverse insect orders. In the modern fauna, these tiny phytophages comprise insects of great ecological and economic importance, like aphids (Aphidomorpha), scale insects (Coccidomorpha), whiteflies (Aleyrodomorpha) and psyllids (Psylloidea). Their evolutionary history can be traced back to the Late Carboniferous, but the early stages of their evolution and diversification is poorly understood, with two known extinct groups-Pincombeomorpha and Naibiomorpha variously placed in classifications and relationships hypotheses. Most of the recent Sternorrhyncha groups radiated rapidly during the Cretaceous. Here we report the new finding of very specialised sternorrhynchans found as inclusions in mid-Cretaceous amber from Kachin state (northern Myanmar), which represent another extinct lineage within this hemipteran suborder. These fossils, proposed to be placed in a new infraorder, are revealed to be related to whiteflies and psyllids. We present, also for the first time, the results of phylogenetic analyses covering extinct and extant lineages of the Sternorrhyncha. The Hemiptera is an ancient insect order, demonstrating extraordinary life histories and highly specialized morphological adaptations, as they have exploited diverse habitats and food sources through over 300 million years of their evolution. Hemiptera is one of the Big Five insect orders (with Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera), the most diversified and speciose orders among all insects, the largest non-holometabolous order of insects, representing approximately 7% of metazoan diversity. The Hemiptera currently contains around 320 extant and extinct families, which is the highest number among all insect orders 1 , with over 110,000 species already described 2-4. The order Hemiptera is subdivided into six suborders 1-extinct Paleorrhyncha (archescytinoids), Sternorrhyncha (modern aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, jumping plantlice, and their extinct relatives), Fulgoromorpha (planthoppers), Cicadomorpha (cicadas, froghoppers, leafhoppers, treehoppers, and number of extinct groups), Coleorrhyncha (moss bugs) and Heteroptera (true bugs). Representatives of the Sternorrhyncha are tiny sucking phytophagous insects, representing nearly 19,000 described extant and extinct species distributed worldwide. They are highly diverse morphologically and ecologically, containing several extant infraorders Aphidomorpha, Coccidomorpha, Aleyrodomorpha) and Psyllodea, as well as extinct ones Naibiomorpha and Pincombeomorpha 1,4. Both the fossil record from Moscovian of Avion 5 and molecular divergence estimation 6 show that the group was present during the Carboniferous. Sternorrhyncha have been evolving and diversifying for over 300 million years, but their fossils are less numerous than fossils of euhemipteran lineages (Fulgoromorpha, Cicadomorpha, Coleorrhyncha, and Heteroptera).
