Abstract
The prokaryotic generic name Pleomorpha Montero-Calasanz et al. 2023 should be considered illegitimate for being a later homonym of the insect generic name Pleomorpha Saunders 1847, which contravenes Principle 2 and Rule 51b(5) of the 2022 Prokaryotic Code. The name Pleomorpha daqingensis Montero-Calasanz et al. 2023 is therefore illegitimate, and a proposal of a replacement name must be made. The author herein proposes to replace it with the oldest legitimate name Geodermatophilus daqingensis Wang et al. 2017 as requested by Rule 54 and then to attribute this species to the new combination Petropleomorpha daqingensis (Wang et al. 2017) Li 2023 comb. nov.
