Abstract

The prokaryotic genus names Baileyella Wylensek et al. 2021, Lucifera Sánchez-Andrea et al. 2019, and Microvenator Wang et al. 2022 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of Baileyella Özdikmen 2009 (a fossil member of the Gonyaulacaceae, Gonyaulacales, Dinophyceae), Lucifera Baker 2010 (Keroplaridae, Diptera) and Microvenator Ostrom 1970 (a fossil member of the Caetagnatidae, Saurichia, Reptilia), respectively [Principle 2 and Rule 51b(5) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP)]. We therefore propose the replacement names Allobaileyella gen. nov., Allobaileyella intestinalis comb. nov., Allolucifera gen. nov., Allolucifera butyrica comb. nov., Allomicrovenator gen. nov., Allomicrovenator marinus comb. nov. and Allomicrovenatoraceae fam. nov.
