COMMENT.
Some modern authors wrongly use the name Dictyoptera for a holophyletic
taxon Pandictyoptera Crampton 1917 (which units Neoblattariae + Isoptera +
Raptoriae) and ascribe to it the authorship "Leach 1815".
Actually Leach in in all his publications used the name Dictuoptera (not
Dictyoptera) and attributed it to Neoblattariae only, not uniting them
with Isoptera and/or Raptoriae.
|
4) OPINION
|
The name Dictyoptera is
translated from Latin as "lace-wings", while insects called
"lace-wings" (in various senses) are often called Neuroptera.
This tradition agrees with the first sense of this name – Dictyoptera
Clairville 1798. The name Dictyoptera Clairville 1798 was not forgotten:
basing on homonymy with it, the name Dictyoptera Brulle 1832 was
renamed to Arkiptera
Laporte 1834 and
Amphibiotica
Gerstaecker 1863, and the name Dictyoptera Dohrn
1866 was renamed to Palaeodictyoptera Goldenberg 1877; this was generally
accepted, in spite of the fact that the older name Dictyoptera never was
valid. In order to avoid confusion, the name Dictyoptera should not be
used for any taxon.
