Change of monoplacophoran genus Protoconus to Proteroconus due to homonymy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 May 2016
Extract
The monoplacophoran genus Protoconus Stinchcomb, 1986, from the Upper Cambrian of the Ozark Uplift of Missouri, is a junior homonym of the monoplacophoran Protoconus Yü, 1979. Protoconus is a significant element in the pre-trilobite Lowermost Cambrian (Meishucan) beds of China (Yü, 1987). In consideration of this homonymy, it is proposed that Protoconus Stinchcomb, 1986, is changed and designated as Proteroconus.
