From editor or global species database
Homonymy The combination is not (yet) published in the literature. De Laubenfels (1936: 148) misidentified his Florida specimen as Carter's (1882) Terpios coerulea and transterred the species to Laxosuberites, which is a junior synonym of Hymeniacidon. However, Carter's species is a genuine European Terpios (currently a j. syn. of T. gelatinosa (Bowerbank, 1866) and the Florida material is not a Terpios but a specimen of what is curently named Hymeniacidon caerulea Pulitzer-Finali, 1986. The names coerulea and caerulea are nomenlaturally identical (ICZN art. 58.1), rendering the two Hymeniacidon combinations homonymous. Since both are assumed to belong to the same species, the seemingly homonymous names are to merge under the junior name of Pulitzer-Finali because coerulea Carter is not considered congeneric with caerulea Pulitzer-Finali.
