<i>Severginaria</i> nomen novum: a replacement name for the preoccupied Ordovician brachiopod genus <i>Salairella</i>

The Upper Ordovician brachiopod genus Salairella is preoccupied by the Devonian stromatoporoid genus Salairella and therefore constitutes a junior homonym. Accordingly, Severginaria nom. nov. is proposed herein as a replacement name for the brachiopod genus.Yong Yi Zhen* [[email protected]], Geological Survey of New South Wales, W.B.
