Homonymy The genus was erected to remove the homonymy of genus Deanea Bowerbank, 1875 (Van Soest et al. 2020: case nr. 119, p. 69) but the new name became a junior homonym of Hunteria Delfinado-Baker, Baker & Flechtmann, 1984 (Arachnida), which must be replaced (ICZN art. 57.2). Van Soest (2024: 91) proposed Reiswiginella nom.nov., named after the late Henry M. Reiswig to replace Hunteria Van Soest & Hooper, 2020 with type species Deanea virgultosa Bowerbank, 1875. [details]
