The purpose of this application, under Article 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove\ the homonymy between the family-group names Microcentrini Deitz, 1975 (type genus\ Microcentrus St{\r a}l, 1869) (Insecta, Hemiptera, Membracidae) and Microcentrini Brunner\ von Wattenwyl, 1878 (type genus Microcentrum Scudder, 1862) (Insecta, Orthoptera,\ Phaneropteridae), by emending of the former to Microcentrusini Deitz, 1975. These\ two family-group names are based on similar but not identical type-genus names. It is\ proposed herein that the entire generic name Microcentrus be adopted as the grammatical\ stem, so the family-group name of Deitz (1975) will become Microcentrusini, thus\ resolving the homonymy.
