Case 3270: Isometrinae Clark, 1917 (Ecinodermata, Crinoidea): Proposed Emendation of Spelling to Isometrainae to Remove Homonymy with Isometrinae Kraepelin, 1891 (Arachnida, Scorpiones)

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The purpose of this application, under Articles 55 and 29 of the Code, is to remove the homonymy between the crinoid subfamily name ISOMETRINAE Clark, 1917 (type genus Isometra Clark, 1908; family ANTEDONIDAE) and the scorpion subfamily name ISOMETRINAE Kraepelin, 1891 (type genus Isometrus Ehrenberg in Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1828; family BUTHIDAE). It is proposed that the entire generic name of Isometra should be adopted as the stem, so that the correct spelling of the crinoid subfamily will become ISOMETRAINAE Clark, 1917.
