Corrigendum: Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny of Four Trachelocercid Ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Karyorelictea) Found in Marine Coastal Habitats of Northern China, With Description of a New Genus, Two New Species and a New Combination

Abstract

A Corrigendum on Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny of Four Trachelocercid Ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Karyorelictea) Found in Marine Coastal Habitats of Northern China, With Description of a New Genus, Two New Species and a New Combination by Ma, M., Li, Y., Ma, H., AL-Rasheid, K.A.S., Wang, Y., Yan, Y. 2021. Front. Mar. Sci. 7, 615903. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2020 In the original article, there was a mistake in naming the new genus. The new genus established in the published article, Foissnerella Ma et al., 2021, is a junior primary homonym of Foissnerella Jankowski, 1986 that belongs to Epistylididae Kahl, 1933. According to article 57.2 of the ICZN (1999), the junior primary homonym, Foissnerella Ma et al., 2021, is permanently invalid. It is replaced by Paratrachelocerca nom. nov. Therefore, the Foissnerella typica Ma et al., 2021 is invalid too, and replaced with Paratrachelocerca typica nom. nov.
