Abstract

A new genus of Mysidae, Neobirsteiniamysis, was proposed in early 2020 for the nomen nudum Birsteiniamysis Tchindonova. This new genus, however, was not available for being published online only. The new genus is hereby officially registered in Zoobank and validated.

The genus name Neobirsteiniamysis was proposed by Hendrickx et al. (2020Hendrickx, M.E.; Sidorov, D. and Tchindonova, J.G. 2020. Replacement for the nomenclaturally unavailable name Birsteiniamysis Tchindonova (Crustacea, Mysida). Geomare Zoologica, 2(2): 19‒23.) for the nomen nudum BirsteiniamysisTchindonova (Tchindonova, 1979Tchindonova J.G. 1979. The distribution of deep-sea bottom and near-bottom mysids (Mysidacea, Crustacea) in the World Ocean.

Replacement for the nomenclaturally unavailable name Birsteiniamysis Tchindonova (Crustacea, Mysida). Geomare Zoologica, 2(2): 19‒23.). The article in which Neobirsteiniamysis was originally proposed was published online only (Hendrickx et al., 2020Hendrickx, M.E.; Sidorov, D. and Tchindonova, J.G. 2020. Replacement for the nomenclaturally unavailable name Birsteiniamysis Tchindonova (Crustacea, Mysida). Geomare Zoologica, 2(2): 19‒23.) but did not include a ZooBank registration number (LISD) required for validation of new names in electronic-only publications. Neobirsteiniamysis as originally proposed is therefore not available according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 2012ICZN. 2012. Amendment of Articles 8, 9, 10, 21 and 78 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to expand and refine methods of publication. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 69: 161‒169.). The present note serves to validate the name Neobirsteiniamysis by fulfilling the ICZN conditions for nomenclatural availability.

Diagnosis. Eyes without pigments, outer margin strongly or slightly concave laterally, presence of microfibrous microstructures on the concave surface, visual elements inside the proximal part of the eye-stalk present or absent, ocular papilla present; lateral edges of the telson always wider or equal to proximal part; statocyst poorly developed.

Etymology. A combination of “neo” (Latin for new) and “Birsteiniamysis” (the genus-name it replaces) indicates the origin of the proposed new genus and its historical relationship with the nomen nudum Birsteiniamysis. Gender feminine.
