Abstract: The scientific name Arthropoda has been repeatedly cited with various incorrect authorship data. This unsatisfactory situation was reviewed in 2013 and the \“correct citation\” was affirmed to be \“Arthropoda von Siebold, 1848\” based on the available evidence. Here, the review of historical literature is expanded with additional sources from the Biodiversity Heritage Library. The Greek compound noun \“Arthropoda\” was used as a scientific name at the rank of class already in 1843, containing the subclasses Crustacea, Arachnoidea, and Insecta. Additionally, the French morphological term \“arthropodes\” has been used in Zoology since at least 1832. The new citation of the name is proposed as \“Arthropoda Gravenhorst, 1843\”.

Zusammenfassung: Der wissenschaftliche Name Arthropoda wurde wiederholt mit verschiedenen falschen Urheberangaben zitiert. Die unbefriedigende Situation wurde 2013 \überpr\üft und die \„korrekte Zitierung\“ auf der Grundlage der verf\ügbaren Literatur mit \„Arthropoda von Siebold, 1848\“ best\ätigt. Hier wird die Recherche historischer Literatur um zus\ätzliche Quellen aus der Biodiversity Heritage Library erweitert. Das griechische zusammengesetzte Substantiv \„Arthropoda\“ wurde bereits 1843 als wissenschaftlicher Name im Rang einer Klasse verwendet, der die Unterklassen Crustacea, Arachnoidea und Insecta enthielt. Dar\über hinaus wird der franz\ösische morphologische Begriff \„arthropodes\“ in der Zoologie seit mindestens 1832 verwendet. Die neue Zitation des Namens wird als \„Arthropoda Gravenhorst, 1843\“ vorgeschlagen.

This application proposes removal of the homonymy between the family- group names Plutoniinae Bollman, 1893 (centipedes) and Plutoniinae Cockerell, 1893 (slugs), which are respectively derived from the generic names Plutonium Cavanna, 1881 and Plutonia Morelet in Stabile, 1864. As the centipede name PLUTONIINAE Bollman is the senior homonym, it is proposed that the entire generic name Plutonia be used as the stem to form the gastropod subfamily name PLUTONIAINAE Cockerell.

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.

In this connection, the recent rebuttal by Zhao [2019], who, manipulating with publications dates, argued and even reversed the synonymy of two species of Linyphiidae, appears to be superfluous and useless, the correct synonymy of Nasoonaria circinata Zhao et Li, 2014 under N. magna Tanasevitch, 2014, and that of Theoa bidentata Zhao et Li, 2014 under Th. elegans Tanasevitch, 2014, being reinstated.

Centipedes (Myriapoda: Chilopoda) are carnivorous arthropods that live in leaf litter and soil habitats on all continents except Antarctica. Roughly 3,300 species have been described to date but the taxonomy is still progressing and requires a thorough documentation of type material and type deposits. In this paper we provide an annotated catalogue of the centipede type collection at the Zoological Museum (ZMH) in Hamburg. This collection comprises 490 type specimens belonging to 141 taxa originally described as species, subspecies and varieties. More than half of these taxa were described by the pioneering myriapodologists Carl Graf Attems (Vienna) and Karl Kraepelin (Hamburg). The collection includes material representing 93 valid species or subspecies and contains specimens predominantly from Australia (33\%), Asia (22\%), Africa (20\%) and South America (20\%). Taxonomically, the focus is on the centipede orders Scolopendromorpha (56 valid species) and Geophilomorpha (28 valid species) with fewer types for the Lithobiomorpha (8 species). A total of 48 taxa (34\% of type species) have been synonymized since they were originally described and the type material for 12 additional species at the ZMH is lost. We provide a brief historical overview of this collection from its origin at the Museum Godeffroy and the Johanneum in Hamburg, including the most relevant taxonomists and collectors, followed by an annotated taxonomic catalogue with details on all species that are or were represented by type material.\

Abstract: The Mexican millipede Euryurus flavocarinatus Daday, 1889, has remained as incertae sedis for over a century. Examination of the holotype shows that the species belongs to Amplinus, a genus of the large polydesmidan family Aphelidesmidae. Here, we present a full redescription of the holotype of Amplinus flavocarinatus (Daday, 1889) comb. nov. On the other hand, Euryurus flavocarinatus Silvestri, 1899 (currently included in the genus Pycnotropis) is a junior primary homonym of E. flavocarinatus Daday, 1889 and, to solve this issue, the name Pycnotropis silvestrii Recuero \& Aguado-Aranda new name is proposed to replace Silvestri\’s name.

Resumen: El milpi\és mexicano Euryurus flavocarinatus Daday, 1889, ha permanecido como incertae sedis por m\ás de un siglo. El examen del holotipo demuestra que la especie pertenece al g\énero Amplinus dentro de la amplia familia Aphelidesmidae, orden Polydesmida. En el presente trabajo presentamos una redescripci\ón completa del holotipo de Amplinus flavocarinatus (Daday, 1889) comb. nov. Por otro lado, Euryurus flavocarinatus Silvestri, 1899 (actualmente cosiderada dentro del g\énero Pycnotropis) es un hom\ónimo primario m\ás reciente de E. flavocarinatus Daday, 1889, por lo que proponemos el nombre Pycnotropis silvestrii Recuero \& Aguado-Aranda nom. nov. para sustituir el nombre de Silvestri y resolver la homonimia.
