Abstract
The names Bergia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1860, and Bergiidae Verrill, 1869, are respectively, senior subjective synonyms of Parazoanthus Haddon & Shackleton, 1891, and Parazoanthidae Delage & Hérouard, 1901. The junior synonyms Parazoanthus and Parazoanthidae are in current and widespread use. In the interest of nomenclatural stability, we enact Articles 23.9.1 and 23.9.2 to reverse precedence of these names, thereby making Parazoanthus and Parazoanthidae nomina protecta, and Bergia and Bergiidae nomina oblita.References
A list of 30 publications by 69 different authors published in the last 33 years using Parazoanthus Haddon & Shackleton, 1891, and Parazoanthidae Delage & Hérouard, 1901, as valid names to fulfil the requirements of Article 23.9.1.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999: 28).
