Rubus novorossicus Doweld , nom. nov.

Replaced name:— Rubus aralioides Negru (1986: 100 , pl. 17, figs. 15–18), nom. illeg. non Rubus aralioides Hance (1884: 42) ( McNeill et al. 2012, Art. 53.1).

Type:—15-20ПК (Grădina Botanică (Institut), Academiei de Ştiinţe a Moldovei, ChiȘinău, Moldova) – figured by Negru (1986: pl. 17, fig. 15).

Geography:—Bol’shoj Fontan (11 Station), near Odessa, Ukraine.

Stratigraphy:—Upper Miocene (Maeotian= Tortonian).

IFPNI registration record:— FDB72262-F9D4-448A-9B53-5A206344E9F1.

Note:—The fossil-species Rubus aralioides Negru (1986: 100) was described on the basis of fossil fruits from Maeotian (Upper Miocene = Tortonian) sediments of the Black Sea region (near Odessa, Ukraine) with no analogues among living species of Rubus . However, it is a later illegitimate homonym of the extant species Rubus aralioides Hance (1884: 42) ( McNeill et al. 2012, Art. 53.1), and therefore, being in current use, the fossil-species is renamed here as Rubus novorossicus Doweld , nom. nov.
