Abstract

Five replacement names for genus-level junior homonyms in fossil Bivalvia are proposed: Elianegonia CECCOLINI & CIANFERONI nom. nov. pro Elianella COOPER, 2015 nec VERCAMMEN-GRANDJEAN, 1956; Perezigonia CECCOLINI & CIANFERONI nom. nov. pro Perezella COOPER, 2015 nec CEPEDE, 1910; Repmanigonia CECCOLINI & CIANFERONI nom. nov. pro Repmania KOLESNIKOV, 1980 nec ARAPOVA & SULEIMANOV, 1966; Bengtsonigonia CECCOLINI & CIANFERONI nom. nov. pro Bengtsonella COOPER & LEANZA, 2019 nec MULLER & HINZ, 1991; Sinoliaoningia CECCOLINI & CIANFERONI nom. nov. pro Liaoningia Yu & DONG, 1993 nec XING & Liu, 1979. Eight new combinations (comb. nov.) are made accordingly.
