Abstract
Replacement names are proposed for five bryozoan homonyms, affecting four genera and one species. Harpagozoon n. nov. replaces Harpago Gordon, 1989, a junior homonym of Harpago Adams, 1854 (Mollusca, Gastropoda). Ijimaiellia nom. nov. replaces Ijimaia Gordon & d’Hondt, 1997, a junior homonym of Ijimaia Sauter, 1905 (Chordata, Actinopterygii); and Reteporella aurantium nom. nov. replaces Reteporella aurantiaca Gordon, 2009, a secondary homonym of R. aurantiaca (MacGillivray, 1883). Reussinella nom. nov. replaces Reussina Kluge, 1962 (with nominal type species Escharina impressa Reuss, 1846), which is a junior homonym of Reussina Neviani, 1896. This taxon also represents a case of a misidentified type species, renamed as Euritina arctica by Osburn (1950), but a new genus name is needed as the species does not belong to Euritina. Leiosellina nom. nov. replaces Leiosella Canu & Bassler, 1917, a junior homonym of Leiosella Lendenfeld 1889 (Porifera). None of the proposed new generic names is listed in the online version of Nomenclator Zoologicus.References
