RESUMO

Osbornellus candaceaenom. nov., é proposto para Osbornellus capitatus DeLong & Martinson, 1976, pré-ocupado por DeLong & Knull, 1941.

Osbornellus candaceae nom. nov.

Osbornellus capitatus DeLong & Martinson, 1976: 587, non DeLong & Knull, 1941: 177.

DeLong & Knull (1941) described Osbornellus capitatus from material collected in Adalanto, California, USA. DeLong & Martinson (1976) described another new species from Cocula, Guerrero, Mexico, and naming it Osbornellus capitatus, which became, therefore, a primary homonym. Its new replacement name, Osbornellus candaceae nom. nov., is given in honor to Candace Martinson.
