Abstract

The plants of the families of Aegilopaceae Martinov and Andropogonaceae Martinov (Scutellopsida D.L.Fu) are closely related to human production and daily life, due to the important crops like wheat, maize, and sugarcane within the families. For familiar plants within the families, taxonomists tend to favor widely used names and more detailed classifications, which can result in taxonomic confusions of hierarchy. Using the minimum criterion PHS (phylogenetic similarity) ≤ 0.928 (inter genera) for genus classification by CPCG (chloroplast complete genomes) of Fructophyta D.L.Fu & H. Fu, total 14 current synonyms of seven genera of Andropogonaceae and 14 current synonyms of three genera of Aegilopaceae have been identified, 4 current synonyms of Saccharum L. including Erianthus Michaux., Imperata Cirillo, Miscanthus Andersson and Tripidium H. Schol, 1 synonym of Iseilema Andersson being Eremopogon Stapf, 5 synonyms of Dichanthium P. Willemet being Agenium Nees, Bothriochloa Kuntze, Capillipedium Stapf, Euclasta Franch. and Pseudanthistiria Hook. f., 1 synonym of Anatherum P. Beauv. being Elymandra Stapf, 1 synonym of Hyparrhenia Anderss. ex Fourn being Hyperthelia Clayton, 1 synonym of Zea L. being Tripsacum L., 1 synonym of Arthraxon P. Beauv. being Microstegium Nees, 10 synonyms of Cinna L. being Anthosachne Steud., Australopyrum (Tzvelev) Á. Löve, Campeiostachys Drobow, Connorochloa Barkworth, S. W. L. Jacobs & H. Q. Zhang, Dasypyrum (Coss. & Durieu) T. Durand, Douglasdeweya C. Yen, J. L. Yang & B. R. Baum, Kengyilia C. Yen & J. L. Yang, Pascopyrum Á. Löve, Pseudoroegneria (Nevski) Á. Löve and Thinopyrum Á. Löve, 1 synonym of Agropyron Gaertn. being Eremopyrum Jaub. & Spach, 3 synonyms of Aegilops L. being Crithopsis Jaub. & Spach, Taeniatherum Nevski and Triticum L. Additionally, 17 new specific names such as Agropyron qinghaica D.L.Fu, Arthraxon yunnanensis D.L.Fu, Hyparrhenia steudelii D.L.Fu, Elymus brownei Kunth ex D.L.Fu and Saccharum liuanum D.L.Fu, along with 221 new specific combinations like Aegilops aestiva (L.) D.L.Fu, Anatherum bicorne (L.) D.L.Fu, Dichanthium alpinum (H. Sun & Boufford) D.L.Fu, Iseilema foveolata (Delile) D.L.Fu and Zea dactyloides (L.) D.L.Fu have been validly and scientifically published. These publications will effectively resolve taxonomic nomenclature confusions in a scientific manner and establish a solid foundation for evolutionary system research within the new class Scutellopsida D.L.Fu.
