Proposal of gen. nov. and gen. nov. as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic generic names and , respectively Open Access

Abstract

The prokaryotic generic name Downes . 2002 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of the plant genus Meisner 1840 and the mollusk genus Baker 1941 (Principle 2 and Rule 51b(5) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes). We therefore propose the replacement generic name , with type species comb. nov. The prokaryotic generic name Maszenan . 2000 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of Popofsky 1913 (Protozoa, Radiolaria) and of Górka 1965 (a fossil dinoflagellate) (Rule 51b(4) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes). We therefore propose the replacement generic name , with type species comb. nov.
