(8) Cypria sywulai Meisch, 2000 (emendation of name):

This species was originally described as Cypria ophtalmica var. lata Sywula, 1981 . The variety was subsequently elevated to species rank as Cypria lata Meisch & Forró, 1998 . When the latter name was shown to be preoccupied by Cypria lata (Dubowsky, 1929) by Kovalenko (1987) (= Cypria curvifurcata var. lata Dubowsky, 1929 ), Sywula’s species was renamed as Cypria sywulae Meisch, 2000 , in honour of the Polish ostracodologist Tadeusz Sywula. The ending in ‘ae’, however, is incorrect and therefore the specific name is here corrected as Cypria sywulai Meisch, 2000 , in compliance with article 31.1.2 of the ICZN (the ending in ‘ae’ is for a woman, ‘i’ for a man).
