Abstract

ABSTRACT The genus name of the Cretaceous protostegid turtle Microstega Hooks, 1998 (type species Microstega copei Wieland, 1909) is preoccupied by Microstega Meyrick, 1890 (type species Microstega pandalis Hübner, 1825), a modern lepidopteran. The new name Kansastega McDavid & Hooks nom. nov. is proposed to replace the junior homonym, with the new combination Kansastega copei (Wieland, 1909).
