Crustacea Decapoda Brachyura Ocypodoidea Camptandriidae

Abstract

Ng et al. (2010: 252) established a new monotypic genus, Danielita (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Ocypodoidea: Camptandriidae), for an unusual species of camptandriid crab from South Africa, Cleistostoma edwardsii MacLeay, 1838. Unfortunately, Danielita Ng, Clark & Tan, 2010, is a junior homonym, being preoccupied by Danielita Kiriakoff, 1970 (Lepidoptera: Glossata: Heteroneura: Noctuoidea: Notodontidae), a genus of moths.
