Abstract

The current study is a continuation of our research on the unification of the Ukrainian vernacular nomenclature of the longhorn beetles of the fauna of Ukraine. In the first part of our study, we unified and codified Ukrainian vernacular nomenclature of two subfamilies including Spondilidinae and Prioninae, in the second—Cerambycinae, in the third—Lepturinae and Necydalinae. In the fourth part, we considered the largest and final subfamily of the longhorn beetles in the fauna of Ukraine—flat-faced longhorns (Lamiinae). As a result, 156 taxa of flat-faced longhorns of various ranks were identified, for which there are scientific (Latin) names. These belong to 13 subspecies, 103 species, 29 genera and 10 tribes and 1 subfamily. The analysis of providing these taxa with Ukrainian vernacular names showed that only 52 of them (40 species and 12 genera) have counterparts known in the literature. However, only half of them is suitable for further use in a unified Ukrainian vernacular nomenclature. The other studied names are non-binominal (for species), denote the names of two or more genera at the same time, contain appositions or compound words written with a hyphen, transferred from Russian or transliterated from Latin. An analysis of the demand for Ukrainian vernacular nomenclature of the flat-faced longhorns in several biodiversity databases showed that all of them provide option for use of Ukrainian names. Moreover, some of them, in the absence of the Ukrainian nomenclature, replace it with an English-language one. The unification of the flat-faced longhorns names included the introduction of a universal system of name convention, as close as possible to scientific and at the same time specifically national, reflecting the traditions of Ukrainian nomenclature. The result of our study was the unification and codification in Ukrainian of 156 vernacular names of taxa of the subfamily of flat-faced longhorns, 122 of which are proposed for the first time. The use of the proposed Ukrainian names is of exclusively advisory and cannot replace valid scientific names. In scientific and technical publications, popular science, fiction and educational texts, in oral communication, it is desirable to accompany scientific Latin names in Ukrainian.

Key words: Ukrainian names, vernacular nomenclature, naming convention, methodology of nomenclature, flat-faced longhorns, longhorn beetles.
