Abstract
Objective]Scientific name of an insect is the unique international name for each species. The monograph“Forest Insects of China ( 2 nd edition )”was published in 1992 ,and since then large numbers of scientific names have been changed,resulting in inconvenience in academic communication. The 3rd edition of the monograph will be revised and published soon; and it will be published in both Chinese and English versions. The accuracy of both Chinese name and the scientific name of the species containing in this edition is important.[Method]During the process we revised the insect scientific names in the 2 nd edition by referring to the monographs such as“Fauna Sinica”,new entomological taxonomy studies and journals such as“Acta Entomologica Sinica”et al. [Result]Scientific names of three species of pine caterpillars in China have been changed into Dendrolimus grisea (Moore),D. punctata punctata (Walker),D. kikuchii kikuchii Matsumura. The taxonomic status of one important locust damaging bamboos has been moved into another genus,and its scientific name right now is Rammeacris kiangsu ( Tsai),and the Chinese name has been changed accordingly; Species name of Apriona germari ( Hope) is also changed; Three species were only identified to genus and did not given exact species name previously,and now they are identified to species,and are named as Celypha sp. Liu damaging Pseudolarix amabilis ( Nelson ) Rehd. , and two psyllids attacking Populus euphratica Schrenk and P. heterophylla Linnaeus. Matsucoccus matsumurae ( Kuwana) ,M. massonianae Yang et Hu and M. liaoningensis Tang have been found to be the same species: M. matsumurae ( Kuwana); Scientific names of species in the families of Tortricidae and Lasiocampidae,in the suborder“Rhopalocera”,as well as in the order Isoptera have been changed a lot. We referred many monographs,e. g. “Fauna Sinica,Insecta,Vol. 27,Lepidoptera Tortricidae”,“Fauna Sinica,Insecta,Vol. 47, Lepidoptera Lasiocampidae”,“Monographia Rhopalocerorum Sinensium”,“Fauna Sinica,Insecta,Vol. 17 Isoptera”et al. and gave correct names for those species in the families. [Conclusion]The Chinese names and scientific names of some species in the 2 nd edition of“Forest Insects of China”would be corrected with the edition and publication of the 3 rd edition,providing essential information for scientific researches and communication of forest insects.关键词
