Nomenclatural checklist for acromegalomma species (Annelida, sabellidae), a nomen novum replacement for the junior homonym megalomma Johansson, 1926

Abstract

Acromegalomma, nomen novum, is introduced as a replacement name for the polychaete genus Megalomma Johansson, 1926 (Annelida, Sabellidae), preoccupied by Megalomma Westwood, 1842 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae). The historical background of the homonymy and a full list with 36 new combinations in the new genus are included, while two species are considered as species inquirenda.
