Homonymy Apparently a junior homonym to Anthostoma Rafinesque,1815 in Platyhelminthes, but that name was a replacement for Chariophyllus Bloch, 1782, an unavailable name, as the work by Bloch was not consistently binominal. It is somewhat debatable if an unavailable name can be simply replaced as such. However, while Pettibone (1957) noted it was pre-occupied by the Rafinesque usage, Anthostoma Schmarda, 1861 is in any case junior to Naineris Blainville, 1828, as Pettibone would have also considered. Pettibone included Anthostoma in the synonymy of her new Naineris subgenus, Polynaineris, currently disused (Blake 2017). Although Anthostoma is the older name and has priority this was a legitimate synonymy as Anthostoma is pre-occupied and needed a replacement name. However, it has not been implemented in WoRMS as it would require first a downranking (or duplication) in the database of Anthostoma to subgenus (which does not exist in literature) and Pettibone did not explicitly claim her Polynaineris was a replacement name for it, and her name is in any case disused.
