Sun and Lu (1998) established the genus Yinia for the heteronemertean Yinia pratensis Sun and Lu, 1998 from the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Estuary. This generic name is, however, preoccupied by Yinia Li, 1994 (q.v.) (Insecta: Pso- coptera), which also has another junior homonym, Yinia Liu and Li, 1995 (q.v.) (In- secta: Orthoptera). Accordingly, a new replacement name for Yinia Sun and Lu, 1998 is proposed herein.
