Riedeliusella, a new name for the genus Riedelius De Wever, 1982 (Radiolaria), non Hudec, 1961 (Gastropoda)

Abstract

Abstract. De Wever (1982) proposed the new radiolarian name Riedelius from the Lower Jurassic of Turkey. It has been found that this name has already been used by Hudec in 1961 for a mollusc gastropod. Therefore, in accordance with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999), the name Riedeliusella nomen novum is proposed as a replacement name (type species Riedelius williami De Wever, 1982, p. 201; 1982, by original designation) for the preoccupied homonym Riedelius De Wever, 1982, non Hudec, 1961, p. 110.
