  • 🧍 Brevinema Defosse et al. 1995 is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the zoological (animal) nomenclature: Brevinema Stegarescu 1980. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.
