The generic name Heliopathes Opresko, 2003 (see also Opresko 2005) proposed for an antipatharian coral (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Antipatharia) of the family Cladopathidae, subfamily Hexapathinae (Opresko, 2003), is preoccupied by the
darkling beetle genus Heliopathes (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), proposed by Mulsant (1854). Therefore the substitute name Heteropathes is proposed for the antipatharian.
