A short nomenclature note: New names for the Recent Ostracod species Paradoxostoma dorsostriata Titterton & Whatley, 2009a and Loxoconcha athersuchi Titterton & Whatley, 2009b

摘要

A new species of Paradoxostoma was described from the recent Solomon Island fauna from Shortland Island by Titterton & Whatley, 2009a and assigned the name Paradoxostoma dorsostriata. Since its publication we have been kindly informed by Prof. E. Kempf that the name is a primary junior homonym of Paradoxostoma dorsostriata Howe & McKenzie, 1989 and requires a new name. We, therefore, propose the name P. hyperknestum. Similarly a new species of Loxoconcha was described from Honiara Bay by Titterton & Whatley, 2009b. This is a primary junior homonym of Loxoconcha athersuchi Whatley & May-bury, 1988. We propose the new name Loxoconcha guadalcanalensis.
