  • 🧍 Replacement of the illegitimate name Reichenbachia agariperforans Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003, which is illegitimate because of precedence of Reichenbachia Sprengel 1823 (a plant belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae) and a later homonym of Reichenbachia Leach 1826 (an insect belonging to the family Staphylinidae). [Principle 2, Rule 51b(4)]. Consequently, a new species designation Reichenbachiella agariperforans has been proposed by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005. Original article in IJSEM Online.
