Abstract

This is an addendum to the availability of the generic name Hana Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018 within the octocoral family Arulidae. Here, the replacement name Hanah is proposed, as Hana Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018 is a junior homonym to senior homonym Hana Kukalova-Peck, 1975, a genus within the family Hanidae of the Palaeozoic insect order Megasecoptera.

Genus Hanah nom. nov.

Hana Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018. ZooKeys 790: 1–19. (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea: Stolonifera: Arulidae). Preoccupied by Hana Kukalova-Peck, 1975. Psyche 82: 1–19. (Insecta: Pterygota: Palaeoptera: Palaeodictyopteroidea: Megasecoptera: Hanidae).

Following the publication of Lau et al. (2018), it has been brought to our attention that the genus name Hana is a preoccupied genus name within the Palaeozoic insect order Megasecoptera (Kukalova-Peck 1975) as documented in Nomenclator Zoologicus (1975: 205). The name Hana Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018 is thus invalid under the laws of homonymy, being a junior homonym of Hana Kukalova-Peck, 1975.

In accordance with article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition (1999), the junior homonym Hana Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018 will be replaced by Hanah nom. nov.

According to this application, the following new combinations within Hanah (Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018) are Hanah hanagasa (Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018), comb. nov. and Hanah hanataba (Lau, Stokvis, Ofwegen & Reimer, 2018), comb. nov.
