Abstract
Taxonomy and nomenclature of the genus Metaceronema Takahashi, 1955 are discussed. Metaceronema theae (Green, 1900), nom. resurr. and M. monticola (Wang, 1976), nom. resurr. are resurrected from synonymy with M. japonica (Maskell, 1897), the type species of the genus. Metaceronema theae is redescribed and illustrated. An identification key for the species M. japonica, M. theae, and M. monticola (Wang, 1976) is provided for the first time. Additionally, a new total drawing of M. japonica is provided to clarify the morphology of this species.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
