The author request the replacement names of the specific and subspecific epithets emeryi (Forel, 1910); mexicanus (Enzmann, 1952); parvula Dlussky, 1967; boliviana Wheeler, 1925; formosae Wheeler, 1909; longiceps Forel, 1910; creticum (Emery, 1908); major Théobald, 1937; ambigua (Weber, 1942); apicalis (Smith, 1857); arcuata (Karawaiew, 1925); ilgii Forel, 1910; javana (Forel, 1905); nimba (Bernard, 1953); sculpturata (Karawaiew, 1925) and striata (Santschi, 1930) and he suggest natalicum nom. nov., enzmanni nom. nov., egecomerta nom. nov., nura nom. nov., nigrosubnuda nom. nov., longicephala nom. nov., pseudoepixenus nom. nov., alena nom. nov., gulera nom. nov., terminalis nom. nov., karawaiewi nom. nov., gamzea nom. nov., minirubra nom. nov., neonimba nom. nov., sumatrana nom. nov. and kaya nom. nov. resppectively.
