Cross-referencing by de SAUSSURE (1890, 1891, 1892) makes it clear that both of his spellings (zanaka / zanaca) refer to the same taxon; the later spelling is thus an "incorrect subsequent spelling" (Article 32.2 of the Code) and zanaka is the spelling to be used if this name were no longer considered to be a junior synonym.
