Abstract :

A junior homonym was detected among the orthopteran genus group names and the following replacement name is proposed: Ademirsoyus nom. nov. for Fergania Sharov, 1968. Accordingly, new combination is herein proposed for the species currently included in this genus. Ademirsoyus reductus (Sharov, 1968) comb. nov.. In addition to this, I propose the replacement name Ademirsoyinae new name for the subfamily name Ferganiinae Gorochov, 1987.
