Oceanapia topsenti View in CoL nom. nov.

Phloeodictyon medium Topsent, 1928 View in CoL : p. 321–322, pl. II, fig. 18, pl. X, fig. 27 (Azores).

Oceanapia media View in CoL ; Burton 1956: p. 142 (genus transfer).

Not Oceanapia media ( Thiele, 1899) View in CoL (a valid species).

Remarks. Thiele (1899) described Rhizochalina media from Indonesia. Topsent (1928) described a new species from the Azores as Phloeodictyon medium , the species was transferred to Oceanapia by Burton (1956). When Van Soest (1980) proposed Rhizochalina as synonym of Oceanapia , he induced the homonymy between these species. According to the International Code of Zoological Name ( ICZN 1999: 52.2) the name of the species Oceanapia media ( Topsent, 1928) should be rejected. Oceanapia topsenti nom. nov. is herein proposed as a replacement name for Oceanapia media ( Topsent, 1928) homonymy of Oceanapia media ( Thiele, 1899) .

Etymology. Named after Emile Topsent, who designated the species name.
