| Abstract | Manning (1995: 213), in a monograph of the stomatopod crustaceans of Vietnam, proposed the name Miyakea for a genus of Indo-West Pacific stomatopods corresponding to the nepa group of species in Oratosquilla Manning, 1968: Squilla nepa “Latreille, 1828” (type species), and Squilla holoschista Kemp, 1911 (Manning 1971: 2–4, 7, 8; Ahyong 2001: 278; Ahyong et al. 2008: 137). Squilla nepa has long been attributed to “Latreille, 1828” but should be correctly attributed to “Latreille, in Latreille, Le Peletier, Serville & Guérin, 1828”, as Low & Ng (2012: 49) argued for the identical case of the name Cardiosoma in the same publication of Latreille (in Latreille et al. 1828). The name Miyakea had been previously proposed by Marumo (1933: 48, 49) for a genus of crambid Lepidoptera, with Eromene expansa Butler, 1881, as the type species. Miyakea Marumo, 1933, is currently considered to be a valid genus comprising six species (Li & Li 2007: 564). Miyakea Manning, 1995, therefore, is a junior homonym of Miyakea Marumo, 1933, and needs to be replaced under Article 60.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999, hereafter, the Code (ICZN 1999). No potentially valid synonyms of Miyakea Manning, 1995, are available (Article 60.2 of the Code), and a new name for Miyakea Manning, 1995, is therefore required (Article 60.3 of the Code). To reflect Manning’s (1995) intent to honour the Japanese carcinologist Sadayoshi Miyake, the name Miyakella nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Miyakea Manning, 1995. Miyakella nom. nov. is derived from the name Miyake, and the Latin suffix -ella; gender feminine. Miyakella nom. nov. currently includes two valid species: Miyakella nepa (Latreille, in Latreille, Le Peletier, Serville & Guérin, 1828) comb. nov. and Miyakella holoschista (Kemp, 1911) comb. nov. A neotype for M. nepa (type locality: Xiamen, China) and lectotype for M. holoschista (type locality: Madras, India) were designated by Ahyong (2001) and Ahyong et al. (2008), respectively. We are grateful to Tohru Naruse (University of the Ryukyus, Japan) for assisting with the Japanese literature. |
