Homonymy We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 54) explanation how homonymy of this combination was avoided.
Removal of homonymy between Paratimea solida (De Laubenfels, 1936) and Stelletta solida Tanita, 1963.
1. Najax solida De Laubenfels, 1936: 160 (type locality Bird Key reef, Florida). The original combination was reassigned to the genus Stelletta Schmidt, 1862: 46 as Stelletta solida by Rützler et al. (2009: 295), thus creating a homonym with S. solida Tanita, 1963. Subsequently, the genus Najax De Laubenfels, 1936 was declared a junior synonym of Paratimea Hallmann, 1917: 675 by Morrow et al. (2019: 33).
2. Stelletta solida Tanita, 1963: 126 (type locality Ushitsu, Japan). This combination was signalled by Ise (2017: 351) as a junior secondary homonym of Stelletta solida sensu De Laubenfels, 1936, but he refrained from replacing the name due to uncertainty of the generic reassignment of De Laubenfels’ Najax solida. The recently proposed synonymy of Najax with Paratimea removed the homonymy (ICZN Art.59.2).
3. Summary: Paratimea solida (De Laubenfels, 1936), replacing the senior secondary homonym is to be the senior name. Stelletta solida Tanita, 1963 is to be maintained. Homonymy has been removed because the homonyms are no longer congeneric (ICZN Art. 59.2). [details]
