Taxonomic remark The name Langia was initially introduced by Moore, 1872 for a genus of the moths family Sphingidae (with the type species Langia zenzeroides Moore, 1872 from India). Subsequently, Wells & Rao, 1987 described a copepod genus of the family Laophontidae (with the type species Langia maculata Wells & Rao, 1987 from India) under the same generic name. Thus, the genus Langia Wells & Rao, 1987 is a junior homonym of the genus Langia Moore, 1872. I propose for the genus Langia Wells & Rao, 1987 the new replacement name Raowellsia nom. nov.

Etymology: from J. B. J. Wells and G. C. Rao who are the current authors of preexisting genus Langia. [details]
