Taxonomy Remanella Kahl, 1933 is Invalid under Article 13.3 of the ICZN (1999). Kahl founded Remanella with five new species and one new variety, none of which, unfortunately, he designated as type . The genus is thus invalid according to the ICZN. This was overlooked not only by Kahl but also by the first reviser of the genus and later monographers. Foissner (1996) thus declared Remanella Kahl, 1933 to be a nomen nudum, but reinstalled Infraciliature of Remanella. Remanella as new genus to avoid an inflation of names.
Furthermore, I fix R. multinucleata (Kahl, 1933) nov. comb. as type species of the new genus, for which an improved diagnosis is provided in the discussion. All Remanella species described need to be combined with the new genus. Note that Carey, without giving any reason, quotes Dragesco as combining author of Kahl's and Dragesco's species although he accepts Kahl as founder of the genus and Dragesco did not recognize Kahl's mistake.Carey 's species citation is difficult to understand; possibly, he simply did not know that international rules exist. There are also several other nomenclatural mistakes. Thus, I decided to revise the nomenclature of the whole genus for the benefit of stability, the present paper, and future workers. [details]
