Abstract

The generic name Neolepidothrix Paclt, 2009 was proposed as a replacement name for Lepidothrix Bonaparte, 1854 (Aves), on ground of preoccupation by “Lepidothrix ” Menge, 1854 (Thysanura). However, a careful analysis of the original publications reveals that Menge used the spelling Lepidotrix. Therefore the two names are not homonyms and they remain valid for their respective taxa. The name Lepidothrix Bonaparte, 1854 is here declared a nomen protectum, taking precedence over the nomen oblitum Lepidothrix Agassiz, 1846. (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
