Auricula Irfan, Zhang & Peng, 2022 View in CoL
The genus Auricula Irfan, Zhang & Peng, 2022 ( Araneae : Linyphiidae ) was erected in 2022 with the type species Auricula triangulara Irfan, Zhang & Peng, 2022 of the family Linyphiidae ( Arachnida: Araneae ) with 4 known species endemic to Yunnan Province, China. Unfortunately, this name is preoccupied by Auricula Lamarck, 1799 , a genus of the family Ellobiidae L. Pfeiffer, 1854 ( Gastropoda: Ellobiida ) with 148 known species. According to article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature a new substitute name is necessary, since Auricula Irfan, Zhang & Peng, 2022 does not have a junior synonym applicable and is a junior homonym of another genus. Therefore, we propose a replacement name for the spider genus as follows.
