  • 🧍 Replacement of the illegitimate name Yania flava Li et al. 2005, which is illegitimate because of precedence of the genus name Yania Roewer 1919 (Opiliones, Arachnida, Arthropoda, Animalia), and of precedence of the genus name Yania Huang 1997 (Hesperiidae, Papilionoidea, Heteroneura, Glossata, Lepidoptera, Insecta, Arthropoda, Animalia) [Principle 2]. Consequently, a new species designation Yaniella flava (Li et al. 2005) Li et al. 2008 has been proposed by Li et al. 2008.
