Nahoniella , a new name for Yukonella Shi and Waterhouse, 1996 (Spiriferida, Brachiopoda)

Shi and Waterhouse (1996, p. 127) proposed a new genus, Yukonella , for a distinctive licharewiinid species (Spiriferida, Brachiopoda) based on well-preserved material from the Lower Permian upper Jungle Creek Formation, northern Yukon Territory, Canada. However, the Editor of the Zoological Record...

Description
Summary:Shi and Waterhouse (1996, p. 127) proposed a new genus, Yukonella , for a distinctive licharewiinid species (Spiriferida, Brachiopoda) based on well-preserved material from the Lower Permian upper Jungle Creek Formation, northern Yukon Territory, Canada. However, the Editor of the Zoological Record , Mrs. M. Joan Thorne (personal commun., 1997), has kindly informed me that the name Yukonella is preoccupied by an Upper Triassic poriferan genus published by Senowbari-Daryan and Reid (1986, p. 900). I therefore rename the brachiopod genus Nahoniella after the Nahoni Range in the northern Ogilvie Mountains of northern Yukon Territory, Canada, where the type species of the genus, Nahoniella plana (Shi and Waterhouse), was collected.
