Name:Coxiella (Philip 1943) Philip 1948 (Approved Lists 1980)
Category: Genus
Proposed as: gen. nov.
Etymology:Cox.i.el’la.N.L. fem. dim. n.Coxiella, named after Harold R. Cox, who in collaboration with G.E. Davis, first isolated this organism in the United States shortly after its discovery in Australia and who introduced the technique of yolk sac inoculation of the chick embryo, which greatly facilitated the study of this and other genera

🧍 Coxiella (Philip 1943) Philip 1948 (Approved Lists 1980) is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the zoological (animal) nomenclature: Coxiella E. A. Smith, 1894. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.
