Remarks: Sun & Lu (1998) established the genus Yinia for the heteronemertean Yinia pratensis Sun & Lu, 1998 from the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Estuary. This generic name was preoccupied by Yinia Li, 1994 (Insecta: Psocoptera), which also had another junior homomym, Yinia Liu & Li, 1995 (Insecta: Orthoptera). Accordingly, Sun & Lu (2008) replaced Yinia Sun & Lu, 1998 with Yininemertes Sun & Lu, 2008. Not knowing the latter name, however, Özdikmen (2009) proposed the replacement name Novoyinia Özdikmen, 2009 for Yinia Sun & Lu, 1998. Therefore, Novoyinia Özdikmen, 2009 is herein regarded as an objective junior synonym of Yininemertes Sun & Lu, 2008.
