Südkamp (Pal?ontologische Zeitschrift 81:181–204, 2007: 198; Figs. 15A, B) described and figured the diplobathrid camerate crinoid Acanthocrinus spinosus n. sp. from the lower Devonian Hunsrück Slate of Karschheck quarry near Oberkirn, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. However, this name is preoccupied by Rhodocrinus (=Acanthocrinus Goldring 1926) spinosus Hall 1862 and therefore is invalid. A replacement name is proposed as Acanthocrinus multispina nom. nov.
