Calvezella, a New Replacement Name for Aragonella Calvez, 1989 (Type-Species A. Marginata), a Forgotten Orbitolinid From the Albian of Spain

Abstract

Calvez (1989) described a new orbitolinid as Aragonella marginata n. gen., n. sp. from the Albian of Spain. The genus name however is a junior homonym of Hantkenina (Aragonella) Thalmann, 1942, an Eocene foraminiferal genus. In accordance with Article 60.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), the new replacement name Calvezella is introduced for Aragonella Calvez, 1989. This taxonomic revision leads to the new combination Calvezella aragonata (Calvez, 1987) for its only species.
