Taxonomic remark The Albionella Kabata, 1979 was established for a copepod genus in Lernaeopodidae. Albionella Kabata, 1979 is a little-known genus of lernaeopodid copepods, all parasites of sharks (Kabata, 1979; Rubec & Hogan, 1988; Benz, 1991). For the present, the genus includes 6 species as Albionella globosa (Leigh-Sharpe, 1918); Albionella centroscyllii (Hansen, 1923); Albionella longicaudata (Hansen, 1923); Albionella _____________Mun.

etmopteri (Yamaguti, 1939); Albionella fabricii Rubec & Hogans, 1988 and Albionella kabatai Benz & Izawa, 1990.
Nevertheless the name Albionella is already occupied. Chickering (1946) established a spider genus Albionella with the type species Albionella propria Chickering, 1946 in Salticidae (Araneae). It is still used as a valid genus name in Salticidae (e.g. Prozynski, 2003; Platnick, 2007). It described from Panama. The genus Albionella Chickering, 1946 includes 3 species as Albionella chickeringi Caporiacco, 1954; Albionella guianensis PCaporiacco, 1954 and Albionella propria Chickering, 1946.
Thus the copepod genus Albionella Kabata, 1979 is a junior homonym of the genus Albionella Chickering, 1946. In accordance with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Fourth Edition (1999), I suggest here that the name Neoalbionella should be erected as a replacement name for Albionella Kabata, 1979.
