Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al's (2020:40-41) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Lissodendoryx (Lissodendoryx) minuta Burton, 1956 and Lissodendoryx (Ectyodoryx) minuta (Calcinai & Pansini, 2000).
1. Lissodendoryx minuta Burton, 1956: 130 (type locality Sierra Leone, West Africa). The original combination is here assigned to the subgenus Lissodendoryx Topsent, 1892: 97 based on the subgenus definitions of Van Soest (2002: 540). The combination is a senior secondary homonym of Lissodendoryx (Ectyodoryx) minuta (Calcinai & Pansini, 2000) despite different subgenus affiliation (ICZN Art. 57.4).
2. Ectyodoryx minuta Calcinai & Pansini, 2000: 375 (type locality Ross Sea, Antarctica). Originally named as Ectyodoryx minuta Calcinai & Pansini, 2000 this species was transferred to Lissodendoryx when Ectyodoryx Lundbeck, 1909: 445 was synonymised with Lissodendoryx Topsent, 1892: 97 under a wider scope of the genus (Van Soest 2002: 540, 544), making this species a junior secondary homonym of Lissodendoryx minuta Burton, 1956, thus requiring a new name.
3. Summary: Lissodendoryx (Lissodendoryx) minuta Burton, 1956 is to be maintained as the senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3). Lissodendoryx (Ectyodoryx) minuta (Calcinai & Pansini, 2000) is a junior secondary homonym without published synonyms and thus needed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy Lissodendoryx (Ectyodoryx) calcinaiae nom.nov.was proposed, named after Barbara Calcinai. [details]
