Originally named by Allman (1888)
Sertularia exigua, the specific epithet was replaced
by laxa in the legend of plate 26, with the laconic
explanation “It has been found necessary to change
the name since the Plate was printed off”. Indeed,
the original basionym is a primary homonym of
Sertularia exigua Allman, 1877 [now recognized as a
junior synonym of Dynamena disticha (Bosc, 1802),
see Medel & Vervoort (1998: 26)] and a secondary
homonym of Sertularella exigua Thompson, 1879.
