(8) Cypria sywulai Meisch, 2000 (emendation of name):

This species was originally described as Cypria ophtalmica var. lata Sywula, 1981 . The variety was subsequently elevated to species rank as Cypria lata Meisch & Forró, 1998 . When the latter name was shown to be preoccupied by Cypria lata (Dubowsky, 1929) by Kovalenko (1987) (= Cypria curvifurcata var. lata Dubowsky, 1929), Sywula’s species was renamed as Cypria sywulae Meisch, 2000, in honour of the Polish ostracodologist Tadeusz Sywula. The ending in ‘ae’, however, is incorrect and therefore the specific name is here corrected as Cypria sywulai Meisch, 2000, in compliance with article 31.1.2 of the ICZN (the ending in ‘ae’ is for a woman, ‘i’ for a man).
