Paraneoptera is the most familiar name of the taxon consisting of Acercaria and Zoraptera. Martynov (1938) preferred the name
Paraneoptera Martynov 1923 as having priority over
Parametabola Crampton 1938. In 1938 Martynov applied the name Paraneoptera to the same taxon as Parametabola, explicitly including Zoraptera; earlier, however, (e.g., Martynov 1923) he defined Paraneoptera rather vaguely (with Zoraptera not mentioned and Thysanoptera uncertainly placed), which later caused some authors (e.g., Grassé
1949, Grimaldi & Engel 2005) to apply the name Paraneoptera to a taxon excluding Zoraptera. Actually, the taxon excluding Zoraptera has an older and widely accepted name
Acercaria Börner 1904 (Börner 1904, Königsmann
1960, Hennig 1969, 1981). Panhomoptera Crampton 1919 (not Paraneoptera) is the oldest name for the taxon with no mention of Zoraptera in original circumscription. Crampton’s (1919) superorder Panhomoptera included the orders “Corrodentia” (i.e. Copeognatha), Mallophaga, Siphunculata, Thysanoptera, and “Hemiptera” (i.e. Arthroidignatha). The oldest names for the taxon expressly including Zoraptera are
Parametabola = Hemipteradelphia Crampton 1938, with Zoraptera listed in the original publication. Recent fierce debates around the placement of the Zoraptera underscores the need to use a name whose original circumscription monosemantically fits the taxon.
Weber (1933) used an identical name, Parametabola, to refer to male coccids (Gallinsecta) with their peculiar metamorphosis; since the females were not included, Weber’s “Parametabola” is not a taxon name, but rather a term of no nomenclatural standing.
Some recent workers place Zoraptera with the Polyneoptera rather than see it as sister to the Acercaria. The taxon Zoraptera + Polyneoptera has a monosemantic circumscriptional name
Urota Chen 1962, and its junior monosemantical circumscriptional synonym is
Polyneopterata Boudreaux 1979.
