Proposal of Allobaileyella gen. nov., Allobaileyella intestinalis comb. nov., Allolucifera gen. nov., Allolucifera butyrica comb. nov., Allomicrovenator gen. nov., Allomicrovenator marinus comb. nov. and Allomicrovenatoraceae fam. nov. as replacement
The prokaryotic genus names <i>Baileyella</i> Wylensek <i>et al</i>. 2021, <i>Lucifera</i> Sánchez-Andrea <i>et al</i>. 2019, and <i>Microvenator</i> Wang <i>et al</i>. 2022 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of <i>Baileyella</i> Özdikmen 2009 (a fossil member of the Gonyaulacaceae, Gonyaulacales, Dinophyceae), <i>Lucifera</i> Baker 2010 (Keroplaridae, Diptera) and <i>Microvenator</i> Ostrom 1970 (a fossil member of the Caetagnatidae, Saurichia, Reptilia), respectively [Principle 2 and Rule 51b(5) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP)]. We therefore propose the replacement names <i>Allobaileyella</i> gen. nov., <i>Allobaileyella intestinalis</i> comb. nov., <i>Allolucifera</i> gen. nov., <i>Allolucifera butyrica</i> comb. nov., <i>Allomicrovenator</i> gen. nov., <i>Allomicrovenator marinus</i> comb. nov. and <i>Allomicrovenatoraceae</i> fam. nov.
