Extract

The generic name Ovulina was proposed by Anderson, Rogerson & Hannah (1996) to apply to the type and only species O. parva Anderson et al., 1996 based on laboratory cultured individuals isolated from sediments in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland and type specimen deposited in the British Museum of Natural History (registration number 1995:10:25:2). The name is a junior homonym and therefore invalid. Ovulina was proposed previously for a foraminiferan by Ehrenberg (1854) and used subsequently by Gruber (1884).

Ovulinata nom. nov. is proposed here as a replacement name for Ovulina Anderson, Rogerson & Hannah, 1996. The name signifies the ovoid shape of the test and the ovulate cell body as described in the original diagnosis and etymology (Anderson et al., 1996).
