The Commission has ruled that the usage of the generic names Mecistocephalus Newport, 1843 and Pachymerium Koch, 1847 for two well-established genera of centipedes is conserved by setting aside type species fixations before the designation by Pocock (1898) of Mecistocephalus punctifrons Newport, 1843, as the type species of Mecistocephalus.

The purpose of this application, under Article 70.2 of the Code, is to conserve Mecistocephalus punctifrons Newport, 1843 as the type species of the genus Mecistocephalus Newport, 1843, following current universal use; this requires suppression of the earlier but long forgotten valid designation of Geophilus ferrugineus Koch, 1835 as the type species of this genus. Accepting G. ferrugineus as the type species of Mecistocephalus would threaten the current, universal use of both names Mecistocephalus Newport, 1843 and Pachymerium Koch, 1847 for two well-established genera of centipedes. These genera have long been recognised as very distinct and included in different families; both have a wide geographical distribution and encompass more than 120 and 20 valid species respectively. The name Mecistocephalus, as currently applied, is threatened by Lamnonyx Cook, 1896, which has not been used as valid in taxonomic and faunistic literature since 1945. The name Pachymerium, as currently applied, is threatened by Mecistocephalus, which is currently and universally applied to a different genus.

The present work lists the genus Pachymerium C.L. Koch, 1847 and species P. ferrugineum (C.L. Koch, 1835), as well as the family Geophilidae and the order Geophilomorpha, to which they belong, as new to the fauna of the Khovd Aimag in Mongolia. This species is also new to Kyrgyzstan and to the East Kazakhstan and Almaty Regions of Kazakhstan. Distribution map is provided.

The centipede collection in the National Museum in Prague contains type material of 16 taxa (14 species and two subspecies), of which 15 were described by Luděk J. Dobroruka and one by Karl W. Verhoeff: Allothereua wilsonae Dobroruka, 1979; Chinobius alenae Dobroruka, 1980; Lithobius corrigendus Dobroruka, 1988; L. creticus Dobroruka, 1977; L. erythrocephalus mohelensis Dobroruka, 1959; L. evae Dobroruka, 1958; L. magurensis Dobroruka, 1971; L. purkynei Dobroruka, 1957; L. tatricus Dobroruka, 1958; L. tatricus monounguis Dobroruka, 1958; Monotarsobius homolaci Dobroruka, 1971; M. krali Dobroruka, 1979; Pachymerium dilottiae Dobroruka, 1976; P. hanzaki Dobroruka, 1976; Scolopendra aztecorum Verhoeff, 1934 and Strigamia olympica Dobroruka, 1977. Of these 16 taxa, five were described from the Czech Republic, three from Slovakia and eight from other countries (Greece, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Nepal, Russia and Uzbekistan). The eight taxa described from the Czech and Slovak Republics are now considered as junior synonyms but the eight taxa described from the other countries are still valid.
