Taxonomy In a posthumous publication, Péringuey (1926: 626) proposed the genus-group name Berea in the Carabidae (Coleoptera) for Argutoridius trivialis Boheman, 1858 and a new species Berea caffer (no type designated). Yamaguti (1963: 280) established the genus Berea for Triphyllocanthus ancoralis Bere, 1936 (type by monotypy) in the family Chondracanthidae (Cyclopoida). Since Berea Yamaguti, 1963 is a junior homonym of Berea Péringuey, 1926, it cannot be used as a valid name. It is here replaced by the new substitute name Bereacanthus nom. nov. (named after the late Dr Ruby Bere; gender: masculine). The genus contains Bereacanthus ancoralis (Bere, 1936) comb. nov. [type], Acanthochondria tenuis Pearse, 1952 = Bereacanthus tenuis (Pearse, 1952) comb. nov., Pseudochondracanthus nellcauseyae Causey, 1955 = B. nellcauseyae (Causey, 1955) comb. nov. and Berea clava Ho & Sey, 1997 = B. clava (Ho & Sey, 1997) comb. nov.
