Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al's (2020: 43) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Hyalonema (Cyliconema) ovatum Ijima, 1895 and Hyalonema (Coscinonema) ovatum Okada, 1932.
1. Hyalonema ovatum Ijima, 1895: 95 (type locality Sagami Bay, Japan). This species was reassigned to Hyalonema (Cyliconema) ovatum by Ijima (1927: 367). It is a senior primary homonym of Okada’s species (ICZN Art. 57.2).
2. Hyalonema (Coscinonema) ovatum Okada, 1932: 26 (type locality South Southwest of Omaizaki, Japan). Okada was apparently unaware of Ijima’s Hyalonema ovatum as he did not refer to it. It is a clear junior homonym (ICZN Art. 57.2). Neither species were mentioned in Tabachnick & Menshenina’s (2002) review of the family Hyalonematidae.
3. Summary: Hyalonema (Cyliconema) ovatum Ijima, 1895 is to be maintained as the senior primary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.2). Hyalonema (Coscinonema) ovatum Okada, 1932 is a junior primary homonym without obvious synonyms and thus needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy, Hyalonema (Coscinonema) okadai nom. nov. was proposed, named after Yaichiro Okada. [details]
