Removal of homonymy between Plakina trilopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907 and Plakina monolopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907.
1. Plakina trilopha Schulze, 1880 subsp. antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907: 326 (type locality East Antarctic Wilkes Land, Antarctica, syntype ZMB 6163). Von Lendenfeld (1907) created two subspecies both named ‘antarctica’ within two different nominal species of Plakina (P. trilopha Schulze, 1880, and P. monolopha Schulze, 1880), with the former taking priority by way of pagination (ICZN Art. 57.2 & Rec. 69A-10).
2. Plakina monolopha Schulze, 1880 subsp. antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907: 333 (type locality East Antarctic Wilkes Land, Antarctica, syntype ZMB 3501). Plakina monolopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907b is a primary junior homonym of Plakina trilopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907 (p. 326) based on page priority, which needs to be renamed, regardless of whether or not it is a genuine subspecies of P. monolopha (ICZN Art. 57.2).
3. Summary: Plakina trilopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907b is to be maintained as the senior primary homonym of Plakina antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907 (ICZN Art. 57.2). Plakina monolopha antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907 is a junior primary homonym of P. antarctica Von Lendenfeld, 1907, and, in the absence of a synonym, requires a new name for which we propose Plakina lendenfeldi nom.nov., named after Robert Von Lendenfeld (ICZN 57.2, 60.3 & Rec. 69A-10).
