Pettibonesia Nemésio View in CoL , nom. nov.
Wilsoniella Pettibone 1993: 84 [typespecies: Wilsoniella furcosetosa (Loshamm) , by original designation], nec Wilsoniella Khalfin, 1939: 83 (typespecies: Wilsoniella prima Khalfin , by original designation).
Pettibone (1993) erected the genus Wilsoniella for one species ( W. furcosetosa ) of polychaete (Annelida: Polynoidae View in CoL ) originally described in Malmgrenia McIntosh. Although Chambers and Muir (1997) View in CoL questioned Pettibone’s arrangement and consequently the validity of Wilsoniella , however, most authors have treated this genus as valid (e.g. Dauvin et al. 2003; Martin et al. 2003). Nevertheless, the name Wilsoniella had been used twice before ( Khalfin 1939; Eichler 1940) and, consequently, is preoccupied by the oldest one, Wilsoniella Khalfin. As there is no junior synonym for Wilsoniella Pettibone , the generic name Pettibonesia View in CoL nom. nov. is established to replace it. The genus is named in honor of the zoologist M. H. Pettibone. As a result, the following new combination is introduced: Pettibonesia furcosetosa (Loshamm) View in CoL comb. n.
In the Regnum Plantae, Wilsoniella C. Müll. (Bryophyta: Ditrichaceae ) is a valid genus with ten recognized species.
