Systema Dipterorum, the database that maintains the names of all Diptera worldwide, enters only published information into its records. However, there are many instances when a novel nomenclatural act is needed for proper treament of names (e.g., multiple original spellings requiring First Reviser action, preoccupied names, genus-group names lacking a type species designation, genus-group names lacking included species, etc.).

Often, this is taken care of in subsequent articles, revisionary studies, etc. This makes sense for nomenclatural acts that are taxonomically significant and may require study of a number of taxa involved before an act can be proposed. However, other nomenclatural actions we feel can be proposed outside of the taxonomic realm and proposed separately or with very succint justification.

As such, we offer here a new series, Systema Dipterorum Nomenclatural Notes, as a medium for specialists to publish short notes that help fix names and nominal taxa by First Reviser actions, new replacement names, designating types, proposing new junior synonyms, etc. Any worker wishing to submit articles should contact the editors for further information. All submitted manuscripts undergo peer-review. All publications in this series and new nominal taxa proposed therein are registered with ZooBank.
