| Zusammenfassung: | 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.
