Name

Circumscriptional name of the taxon under consideration: Amyocerata Remington 1955.

Most often this taxon is named "Ectognatha" sensu Hennig 1953, but it does not fit the original circumscription of Ectognatha Stummer-Traunfels 1891, which does not include Pterygota. Sometimes this taxon is named "Insecta" sensu Handschin 1958, but it does not fit the original circumscription of Insecta Linnaeus 1758, which is approximatedly the same as Arthropoda.

Insecta: Linnaeus 1758 = Condylopa Latreille 1825 (subequal to Arthropoda)
Insecta: Lamarck 1801 = Pterodicera Latreille 1802 (subequal to Pterygota)
Insecta: Latreille 1802 = Tracheata Haeckel 1866
Insecta: Leach 1815 = Hexapoda Latreille 1802
Insecta: Cuvier 1817 = Atelocerata Heymons 1901
Insecta: Packard 1883 = Dimalata Sharov 1966
Insecta: Kingsley 1894 = Opisthogoneata Pocock 1893
Insecta: Handschin 1958 = Amyocerata Remington 1955
Insecta: Chen 1962 = Pleomerentoma Krausse et Wolff 1919
