Nomenclature As Aungtonya & Eibye-Jacobsen (2014) point out, 'Parasthenelais' is an unjustified replacement for 'Eusthenelais'. Amoureux (1972:69) introduced it for type species Eusthenelais hibernica McIntosh, 1876 because "Par contre, le préfixe Eu ne nous semble pas pouvoir être conservé, puisque l’on considère d’ordinaire que le genre Sthenelais est dépourvu de tout cirre dorsal. Nous préférons donc substituer le terme de Parasthenelais qui affirme, à la fois, une certaine similitude et une certaine variation." However, thinking an original name is ill-fitting is not sufficient reason to replace it. Amoureux acted incorrectly. [details]
