The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the generic name Haliplanella Hand, 1956 for a widespread sea anemone by suppressing the senior name Haliplanella Treadwell, 1943 that was first, through an error, used for a group of polychaete annelids, was later put into synonymy, and is now no longer used.

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.5 of the Code, is to conserve the name Petauristes quadripunctatus (Olivier, 1808) for a common and widespread South Asian beetle originally described as Crioceris quadripunctata, and thus a junior primary homonym of Crioceris quadripunctata Fabricius, 1801 (currently Monolepta quadripunctata).

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.5 of the Code, is to conserve the use of the well known alpine leaf beetle name Oreina elongata (Suffrian, 1851), originally described as Chrysomela elongata, and thus a junior primary homonym of Chrysomela elongata Linnaeus, 1758, currently known as Tillus elongatus (Linnaeus, 1758).

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.5 of the Code, is to conserve the specific name of the widespread Palaearctic marsh beetle Cyphon palustris Thomson, 1855 (scirtidae), published as a junior primary homonym of Cyphon palustris Germar, 1818 (currently Eubria palustris, psephenidae). Both specific names are in current use and have not been considered congeneric after 1899. It is proposed to conserve the name Cyphon palustris Thomson, 1855 by ruling it not to be invalid by reason of being a junior primary homonym.

The purpose of this application, under Article 75.6 of the Code, is to conserve the accustomed usage of the name cornutus Temminck, 1822 for the Sumatran population of the southeast Asian species currently named Batrachostomus javensis (Horsfield, 1821) (Aves, podargidae). To this end, we ask that Temminck's action in proposing the replacement of Horsfield's name javensis with cornutus be set aside so that cornutus does not become a junior objective synonym of javensis (type locality in Java) and that the Sumatran specimen which Temminck actually described as cornutus be designated as its neotype. This would establish cornutus for the Sumatran form for which it has been in use for over 70 years as the subspecific name.

The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve the generic names Anthochaera Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 and Philesturnus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1832 for Australian wattlebirds (meliphagidae) and the New Zealand saddleback (callaeidae) by suppression of the generic name Creadion Vieillot, 1816. Suppression of the name Creadion is sought because, although used for the New Zealand saddleback up to the mid 20th century, it may instead be applied to the Australian wattlebirds, long known as Anthochaera Vigors & Horsfield, 1827. Creadion is therefore a source of confusion and threatens stability.

The Commission has ruled that the usage of the generic name Malmgrenia McIntosh, 1874 (a polynoid worm genus from the northern North Atlantic) is conserved by designation of Malmgrenia andreapolis McIntosh, 1874 as the type species of this genus.

The Commission has conserved the specific name Murex rostratus Olivi, 1792 (currently Fusinus rostratus) (Mollusca, Gastropoda, fasciolariidae) by ruling that it is not invalid by reason of being a junior primary homonym of Murex rostratus Solander in Brander, 1766 (currently Turricula rostrata). The senior homonym is currently included in turridae and has not been considered congeneric with Murex rostratus Olivi, 1792 after 1899.

The Commission has conserved the usage of the name Scleropauropus Silvestri, 1902 for a group of pauropods (Myriapoda, Pauropoda) while also conserving as its type species the nominal species S. hastifer Silvestri, 1902, by replacing with an identical neotype the unsuitable holotypes of both S. hastifer Silvestri, 1902 (type species by monotypy) and S. lyrifer Remy, 1936 (consistently, but erroneously treated as the type species of Scleropauropus since Remy (1957)).

The Commission has conserved the usage of the family-group name pseudococcini Cockerell, 1905 (type genus Pseudococcus Westwood, 1840) for the mealybugs, a speciose group including many pests of agriculture, by giving it precedence over the senior family-group name sphaerococcini Cockerell, 1899 (type genus Sphaerococcus Maskell, 1892).

The Commission has conserved the current usage of the widely used name Helops Fabricius, 1775 (tenebrionid beetle from the Western Palaearctic, Nearctic and Neotropical Regions) by designation of Tenebrio caeruleus Linnaeus, 1758 as the type species. All type fixations for the nominal genus Helops Fabricius, 1775 before that of Tenebrio caeruleus Linnaeus, 1758 by Hope (1840) have been set aside.

The Commission has ruled that the homonymy between the family-group names corystidae Foster & Philip, 1978 (Echinodermata, Echinoidea) and corystidae Samouelle, 1819 (Crustacea, Brachyura) be removed by adopting Corystus- as the stem of the name of the type genus Corystus Pomel, 1883, giving the corresponding echinoderm family-group name corystusidae.

The Commission did not approve a proposal to suppress the name Gobius lagocephalus Pallas, 1770 (currently Sicyopterus lagocephalus), commonly used for a species of sicydiine goby.

The Commission has conserved the usage of nine specific names of common Australian birds. The names were chosen as senior by First Revisers, but were later replaced almost a hundred years ago by simultaneously published names on grounds of page precedence. They have now been stabilised.
