Note. The generic name Meropachys Popov, 1986 is a junior homonym of Meropachys Burmeister, 1835 , a valid genus of the family Coreidae ( Hemiptera : Heteroptera ), including two valid species from South America (PAC- KAUSKAS 2010, ANONYMUS 2019). As there is no junior synonym available as a replacement name, we propose here a new substitute name, Yuripachys nom. nov., to replace Meropachys Popov, 1986 . The new name is dedicated to Yuri A. Popov ( 1936–2016), a great Russian specialist in heteropteran palaeontology, being composed of his given name and the Greek adjective pachys ( παχύς), meaning for example thick, large, stout, coarse, fat, or great. The gender is masculine; the grammatical stem is Yuripache -.
