The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has declined to use its plenary power to conserve the specific name of\ Geophilus alpinus\ Meinert, 1870 for a European species of geophilomorph centipede. As a result, the name\ impressus\ C.L. Koch, 1847 as published in the binomen\ Geophilus impressus\ has priority over the names\ palustris\ C.L. Koch, 1863, as published in the binomen\ Geophilus palustris and alpinus\ Meinert, 1870, as published in the binomen\ Geophilus alpinus\ whenever the former is considered synonymous with either of the latter.

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the specific name\ Geophilus alpinus\ Meinert, 1870\ for a widespread European species of geophilomorph centipedes. This name, currently in use, is threatened by the subjective synonyms\ Geophilus impressus\ C.L.\ Koch, 1847\ and\ Geophilus palustris\ C.L.\ Koch, 1863, which have been disregarded since 1874 and 1882 respectively.
