Abstract

Morris (1980: 9) established a new monotypic bryozoan genus Boreas, for Boreas voighti (family Hippothoidae), a fossil species from the Upper Campanian in Sweden. Cumberlidge and Sternberg (2002) independently established a new brachyuran genus, Boreas, for a new species, Boreas uglowi Sternberg & Cumberlidge, 2002 (Potamonautidae), from northern Madagascar. The genus remains monotypic.
