Abstract
Eutaleola nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Euteleia Marcus, 1938 (Bryozoa: Cheilostomata), a secondary homonym of Euteleia Raffray, 1904 (Arthropoda: Coleoptera). Eutaleola is a monospecific genus of Pasytheida e, found in warm shallow waters on both sides of the Atlantic and in deeper waters of the eastern Pacific. Brazilian material of Eutaleola evelinae (Marcus, 1938) comb. nov. is described and illustrated.
Highlights
MARCUS (1938) introduced a new monotypic genus for a new species Euteleia evelinae, an inconspicuous encrusting pasytheid bryozoan from Santos, Brazil
COOK (1968, 1985) inadvertently misspelled the name “Eutaleia”, which she attributed to MARCUS (1938), so it is clear this was a lapsus calami, not a deliberate attempt to correct the spelling, as there was no discussion of the spelling and no mention of homonymy
Owing to the sum of the zooidal characters, this species was transferred to the Pasytheidae Davis, 1934 by COOK (1985) from the Savignyellidae Levinsen, 1909 in which it was placed by MARCUS (1938)
Summary
MARCUS (1938) introduced a new monotypic genus for a new species Euteleia evelinae, an inconspicuous encrusting pasytheid bryozoan from Santos, Brazil. Eutaleola evelinae (Marcus, 1938) comb. Primary orifice 0.10-0.12 mm (0.108 ± 0.010) length and 0.08-0.10 mm (0.094 ± 0.009) width, subterminal in zooid, inclined distalward; Eutaleola, a replacement name for the homonym Euteleia
