New names inPhanerogamae 3

New nomenclatural combinations are proposed, resulting from the adoption of a narrower concept of the generic classification unit or from necessary changes of the taxonomic rank in several taxa. A new genus—Anemonidium (Spach)Holub—is proposed inRanunculaceae. Four genera are accepted, includingChamaepitys Hill (Ajuga L. p. p.),Cota J. Gay (Anthemis L. p. p.),Euchiton Cass. (Gnaphalium L. p. p.) andRostraria Trin. (Koeleria Pers. p. p.+Trisetum Pers. p. p.).Genistella Ortega is preferred toChamaespartium Adans. In all 95 new combinations are proposed (83 for species, 11 for subspecies, 1 for a variety), including 21 inCota, 13 inRostraria, 11 inChamaepitys and 10 inEuchiton.     

New names inPhanerogamae I

69 new names are proposed, viz. for 1 genus (Danthoniastrum), 1 subgenus, 1 section, 37 species, 28 subspecies and 1 variety. Most of the new names refer toOtites (10),Helictotrichon (3),Helianthemum grandiflorum (3),Plantago atrata (3),Rhodax (19) andZerna (17).     

New names inPhanerogamae 5

103 new nomenclatural combinations are proposed for taxa of European flora, 95 for species, 8 for subspecies. Most of them have resulted from a more natural delimitation of genera. The majority of new combinations are made in the segregants ofCentourea (Acosta—16,Colymbada— 8),Hieracium (Pilosella—16),Scabiosa (Trochocephalus—14),Serratula (Klasea—13) andLeontodon (Scorzoneroides—8). Taxonomie or nomenclatural problems of some taxa (Arum orientale, Colobium taraxacoides, Klasea, Leucanthemopsis alpina agg.,Psyllium, Scorzoneroides, Tephroseris cantabrica) are discussed. Names omitted from the Index Kewensis and corrections of publication places are added (17 names).     

Notes on Empididae (4), New replacement names in Empididae

Wiedemamia (s. str.) brevilamellata Wagner is proposed as replacement name for W. alpina Vaillant, 1953 not W. (Chamaedipsia) alpina Engel, 1918). W. beckeri glacicola Wagner replaces W. (Chamaedipsia) beckeri alpina Vaillant, 1967 (not Engel, 1981, not Vaillant, 1953).

New names and combinations in Trixis (Compositae)

Trixis chiapensis, T. grandibracteata, T. mexicana var.auriculata, T. mexicana var.macradenia, andT. parviflora are described as new, and the combinationsT. californica var.peninsularis, T. michuacana var.longifolia, andT. pringlei var.oligantha are proposed. The application of the namesT. inula andT. michuacana is discussed.
