Farinacci (1991) proposed the generic name
Agerina
for a
Pliensbachian (Early Jurassic) foraminiferan from the Central
Apennines, Italy. This name is a junior homonym of
Agerina
Tjernvik, 1956 and
Agerina
Farinacci, 1991 is replaced herein
with the new generic name
Agerella
, which retains Professor
Farinacci’s dedication to Professor D. V. Ager. Professor
Farinacci was informed of the homonymy, in keeping with
the Code of Ethics of the
International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature
(ICZN, 1999, p. 124, Appendix A, item 3) and
gave her consent for this revision.
