Abstract. A new name, Cypridina olimoblonga Kornicker, is proposed for
the junior primary homonym Cypridina oblonga Jones & Kjrkby 1874 (non
C. oblonga Grube 1859), type species ofSylvesterella Kornicker & Sohn 2000.
Authorship of the replaced species, as well as other species described as new
in "A Monograph of the British Fossil Bivalved Entomostraca from the Car-
&
boniferous Formations" (1874), should be attributed to T. Rupert Jones
James W. ICirkby, not to Jones, ICirkby & Brady. It is concluded that the correct
authorship of the genera Cypridinella, Cypridellina, Sulcuna, Rhombina, and
Offa should be attributed to T. Rupert Jones.
Kempf (in litt., 24 Aug 2000) informed lowed Sylvester-Bradley (1951:210; 1961:
