Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 29) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Forcepia (Leptolabis) forcipula (Topsent, 1904) and Forcepia (Forcepia) forcipula (Lundbeck, 1905).
1. Leptolabis forcipula Topsent, 1904: 182 (type locality Azores, North Atlantic). Originally described as Leptolabis forcipula Topsent, 1904 the genus Leptolabis Topsent, 1901 was synonymised with Forcepia Carter, 1874 by Van Soest (2002: 536), but used as a subgenus Forcepia (Leptolabis), making this species the senior secondary homonym of Forcepia (Forcepia) forcipula (Lundbeck, 1905) (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Esperiopsis forcipula Lundbeck, 1905: 17 (type locality Davis Strait, West Greenland). Originally described as Esperiopsis forcipula Lundbeck, 1905 this species was transferred to Labisophlita De Laubenfels, 1936: 120 as its type species, and subsequently synonymized with Forcepia Carter, 1874 and allocated to the nominal subgenus Forcepia (Forcepia) by Van Soest (2002b: 533), making it a junior secondary homonym of Forcepia (Leptolabis) forcipula (Topsent, 1904), requiring a new name (ICZN Art. 57.3).
3. Summary: Forcepia (Leptolabis) forcipula (Topsent, 1904) is the senior secondary homonym of Forcepia (Forcepia) forcipula (Lundbeck, 1905) and the name is maintained (ICZN Art. 57.3). Forcepia (Forcepia) forcipula (Lundbeck, 1905) is a junior secondary homonym of Forcepia (Leptolabis) forcipula (Topsent, 1904), in the absence of known synonyms requiring a new name (ICZN Art. 59.1 & 60.3), for which Forcepia (Forcepia) lundbecki nom.nov.was proposed, named after William Lundbeck.
